burtons sell it sean ,just have to get it nice and hot when you apply it then I hit it with a dust coat once it starts to crackle

hmmmmmmmm

im painting my block out of the car and it`ll be a while before it runs again!

just been looking at the curing process and its not possible for a static block, unless i put it in the oven

might just wait untill my shitbox is running..... no hardship i guess.

cheers Dave

i sent you a PM too

salsheikh

put it on the bbq and then paint it!

Cossie Sean

put my engine block on the smokey/dusty BBQ then paint it.......

i will gently decline thankyou

salsheikh

sorry my bad, i've got a gas fire bbq so would have placed the block on it without coals/wood etc.

Cossie Sean

reasonable idea then, cheers!

think im going to paint it once its all up and running, aid the heat curing process etc

Vht crinkle paint. Been using it recently with good results.

Not sure if it work on a block, tbh I prefer to see it used to detail parts in the bay rather than large items but its definitely a great product if you get the finish right.

Got a tin of that in the garage. How did you use it for best results?

Ps a heat gun works fine to make it go wrinkle, takes a lot of coats though and a lot of patience with a good heat gun

JonnyBravo

Coverage is very good but you need to put multiple coats on, do not worry about the finish out of the can like you would normally as once heated it totally changes.

I will dig out some pics shortly.

This might be a really stupid question..

Does it work on plastics? Or does it need to be heated up too high?

salsheikh

spray it on and bung it the pre heated oven at 180c!

only joking of course
