Do you need to use high heat paint on your engine tin?

Rustoleum works fine, do a nice primer coat first so you get a nice smooth finish.also automotive engine paints (I think krylon has them) work they have a high gloss.
do not use the high heat paints that are for exhaust systems or Bar B Que's these paints require high heat to cure and they dry in a flat finish, which easily stains in the engine bay. one thing that may get a bit hot for the regulkar paint is the end castings of the intake runners, seeing as these sit on the head, (even with theheat spacer) the end castings will discolor from the heat. for the 2.0 liter that is no problem leave the castings as bare aluminum only paint the pipes. for teh 1.7 the end castings are iron, so they will rust , you can live with the minor discoloration there, or paint the end castings only with high temp flat paint, frankly the discoloration wouyld look better than the flat high heat paint. good luck have fun, dont breath the fumes!!! |
