Painting an engine,
Ok I know its a long wait and I will take pics of the step by step progress,
Im taking my engine out this weekend if it dont ****** rain...Im tempting on tring something and not sure if it will work out,Im looking for the gheyest pink I can find to paint my engine...Cause when I woop up on some stangs and ****...I want them to see the pink 12a No pistons..no heads..no valves..
I was thinking of getting my friedn to spray the plates and frotn cover with auto body paint,I think it can hold the temps of the plates..
Have any of you tried this?
If this dont work..I guess I will go to plan A red with polished intake,housings..and other parts..

We've got it at work, we use it to paint transmission pans/cases for anyone who wants a 'custom' look. We do have a few cans of pink, actually...
We usually call CalState Auto Parts if we need any and have it dropped off, so I don't know if it can be easily obtained online, I'll check around.
Also, the powerdercoating idea isn't bad either; it's just far more expensive. Then again, you get what you pay for, right?

The point is I used some "safety red" professional stuff~$3.50? sold at menards and stays fine and good on the engine if its clean while spraying and a couple coats alowing a half hour between coats. It wasn't specified as "high temp" and is still very well on. HOWEVER, I accidently spilled gasoline once on it while it was hot even the header(no fire thankfully) but gas+heat = paint bubbling and falling off were ever gas touched it. The heat probably is mostly to blame. I would look for a paint that resists gas if there is such a thing.

what about using that do-it-yourself powdercoat?
you know the **** you use in your home oven?
I think if you have a nice size oven and take out a tray the seperate housings would fit if the engine was dis-assembled.
maybe
you would have to remove the engine to have a company do it for you,
so why not just rip it down and replace the gaskets and paint it?
or the gaskets and apex seals, then it will be a two-for-one deal.
just an idea

Just curious, just how hot does the oven need to be? I would be wary about shoving in my precious rotor housings(if that is what your powder coating)or iron housings into the oven and they come out warped? Is that something to be concerned about? Does the oven needs to be 300F or so?
I have infact helped in powder coating before in a shop envirment, so long ago, and it was only to suspension and external parts with non essentail
