Hi, I hope this post is in the right place.

Can any one recommend the best engine paint to use?

What is the best colour to use for an engine?

Where would i buy the paint from?- do i need primer?

what bit are you painting? if its just the rocker cover then just use standard paint

 

Just the block and rocker cover

I tried that hand paint lacquer crap lack year, but it chips easy.

i just used high temperture engine paint from halford in gloss black and painted it on

 

Looks nice.

Cheers, I'll give that ago.

 

Metallic Blue Hammerite


Or I know a lot of people use 2k paint for the blocks too.

 

for the block just use hammerite spray cans (comes in silver, red, black, yello, blue, green) can get it from any motor'ist shops, halfords etc

what engine is it?

i just sprayed my rocker cover (cossie) in audi laser red, came up a treat

 

Its a 16v Zetec

Can that hammerite stuff handle the heat though?

 

yeah piece of piss

 

cool, I'll have a mooch on over in the morning and pick a tin up.

Thanks

2k all the way

 

Most 2K lines will come off if u don't use a decent primer!

As said Hammerright will be ok. But if u want something special try an HS Aluminium

 

I use this..........came out really well
