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

You don't need the temp paint but . . . if you use VHT, Duplicolor and the like and have an oven or BBQ large enough; use the Satin Black and bake it - you'll end up with a very similar baked enamel finish the factory used on most of the metal parts in our cars that were finished black. No priming needed. Scuff thoroughly with a scotchbrite, clean completely with a good degreaser (regardless of how you decide to finish) and spray a few thin coats.
If you don't have anything large enough to bake it, don't bother. With the temp. paint the final finish is all in the baking. It will melt a little and produce a super smooth finish. Without the baking process the finish is like any other spray bomb. And once it's baked and cured these paints are surprisingly tough. |
