What type of paint do you guys use when you paint your einges??

I know there are many to chose from..
Or is there any one who can tell me what NOT to use? Not housepaint of course..

on he housings any kind of paint will work, or to put it another way i havent had a problem with any paint.
the key though is to get the housing clean

I degreased and bead blasted my engine to get it clean. here are some pics.


I plan on using duplicolor paint to paint my engine. The have 500 degree paint, and 1200 degree paint. Go here to check it out. Should be able to get it in places like NAPA.

 

sounds good but what color? you do know that if you paint it read you add 5-10HP! ;-)

 

The last engine I rebuilt, I blasted everything and sprayed clear on the aluminum and sprayed a base coat of white on the steel housings before finishing with hot pink. But that was many years back.

 

 

Most guys use high temperature paint that you can buy at any hardware store. It's good for 1200-1600 degrees.

 

i use black, 500 degrees, but for some reasons my engine keeps blowing....**** is it?

 

Actually the last engine I blew was painted blak... hmm.. let's stay away from that color...

I han a 13B that I'll rebuild next year (spare for my car).
It will probably be blue....

Thank's all //Magnus
