I used a brass wire wheel to clean it up. Then I used laquer thiner to make sure the housings/irons were oil free.

I used this paint called VHT from Autozone. Supposed to be good to 900F.

I think I did three coats. I turned out great!

I also painted the front cover, water pump housing, and the water pump with it.

very nice paint/engine work, duplocolor make two different high ehat paints and Metalcast, which isn't high heat but people still use it on their engines. metalcast is like a ghetto way to get the anodized color look
