JonOfScio Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I found some really sweet new engine paint. It's not advertised as such, but says that it's good for up to 500 degrees fehrenheit. I painted my manifold and some of my PCV system components with it. Later on, my block/heads will be clear coated after being cleaned, and my valve covers will be black. I'll go take a good picture of the colors goin on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrinx Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 What did you do to prep the metal? I've found it difficult to really clean an oily metal surface for paint do to the porous nature of metal.... Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 I found that if I glass bead the surface of an object,it seems to hold the paint better. I did that to my heads of my EA71. My block, I just used a few cans of engine dereaser and a wire brush followed by the pressure washer. It took me a couple of hours but the paint is sticking really nicely.

Caboobaroo Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 about four cans of foaming engine degreaser, and pressure washing it four times as well. (foam, wash, let dry... repeat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddcomp Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 that stuff would look cool on a computer case not that they would ever hit 500 deg but hey who knows as for removing oil i find doing a acetone or methl ethyl ketone wipe down to work great then a brief rub with coarse scotch brite and another wipe to get rid of the "scotch dust" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 looks yummy. so how many licks does it take to get to the water passages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonOfScio Posted November 1, 2003 Author Share Posted November 1, 2003 hehe yeah, it's alot cooler looking in real life. When I get my heads back all cleaned up I might do semi-gloss black or continue with the red. (valve covers are black) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
