as above

 

Gloss.

Enamel? Not sure on spelling.

 

Yes both will mate.

 

will that paint stand the heat of the engine

 

Pretty sure enamel is what people use on the block/head etc. So yes it'll stand the heat

 

cheers thanks for the help

 

2K car paint is better,

 

Really? I didn't think 2k would be that good at withstanding heat.

 

check the small print on the back of cans, they tell you the limits of heat they will withstand. im sure normal car spraypaint has quite a high temperature threshold once dried .
i did my cosworth rocker cover in normal spray paint, lasted 2 years no problem.

 

hammerite lol

 

Coach enamel will be perfect for the job.

 

enamel is the shit ,2k will rust in time

 

Use engine enamel - Its for engines

2K wouldn't last very long IMO

 

Paint doesnt rust

 

head bloack and parts on my motor done in 2 k


fully cleaned , two coats of etch primer , coat of primer , 3 paint 2 clear iirc


just hoping the engines out the cupboard before it starts to rust afpmsl !!!

 

All mine is done in 2k, block was cleaned fully then cure rust applied etched primed, primed then painted, seems ok so far, been painted about 4 years..

 

Same as, i work in a bodyshop, used 2k for years when restoring cars and painting engines, never had a complaint about it falling off
