what paint for engine and parts

[kenp313]

I was wandering what kind of paint people are using to paint their block, valve covers , oil pan ect. I appreciate any input

I use VHT engine enamel, seems to hold up well.

What colors are you looking for?

I've used the VHT also, works good. And Por15 engine enamel, but it's limited on temp (350°). Por15 makes high temp but only has three colors.

Not sure of color yet. I like the darker colors of blue. You guys use vht on blocks and accessories? Can krylon be used on the accessories

 

[Stancedlb7]

I've used krylon, it holds up pretty good.

 

[kenp313]

That's the exact answer I wanted to hear

Any high temp paint will work. The most important thing to consider is prep.

Seems like prep is the hardest part and is kicking my a%% I tried oven cleaner on my oil pan (upper) and it took almost all the gunk off bUT left a white residue

I use one of those green 3m sanding discs they are badass it will take it down to bare metal then I just use mineral spirits to clean it up also I use a wire wheel to get into those hard to get spots

Do you have wire wheels up there at the care care center

Use the high temp primer as well. It really helps with the durability.

X2 I sand blast first, primer, coat, and clear coat. Krylon has been through some harsh abuse and held fine.

Anyone more sugestions then this? Prep is going to be key I'm sure. I was thinking about wheel acid.

For color I was going to do chevy orange with black piping like fuel lines etc.

I'm just not sure I kind of like the stock sleeper look.
