I just used Hammarite on the block.

Used Halfords manifold paint on the turbo and it still aint come off, very good stuff

did u both mean hammerite? its oil based so it a good paint to use on engines, if your not using it on the exhaust manifold or turbo then it should be ok, it may discolour after a while though.
