So what should I use? The guy at the local autobody place says Krylon and he didn't even sell it. I left in disbelief. So who's the idiot? Me because I won't take an "Expert's advice" or him because he doesn't know what he's talking about.
I'm still scratchin my head over that one. Dave |

IMO Krylon won't be very durable. A catalyst activated paint would be better, powder coating would be the ultimate. Here's a reference for some powder coat company's.

Just look in your yellow pages for powder coating...
I had 10 companies here in town. One has an autoclave large enough to do cars! That would be cool! |

Powder coating.
But if you don't decide to go that route - buy some paint... spray it on bare metal, and then splash fuel, carb cleaner, oil, degreaser, etc... all over the area. Do it repeatedly... then scratch or scrape the area to check for durability. |

If you don't want to spring for powder coating then just use engine paint. I can't believe nobody is recomending this. Krylon? I'm prety sure it doesn't hold up to gasoline. Use engine paint. That's what it's made for. Sticks good and is pretty impervious to anything you splash around in the engine compartment.

Powder coat... there is a reason why the factory didnt spray paint them. I have never seen a engine with "Krylon" last past 2 years. The first time you want to degrease the engine.. you'll be hating yourself.

Craig Craft Powder Coating, in Mukilteo. They did all my bug stuff, too. From the tin to the seat frames AND seat springs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

rich, i just had that same thought. think would thermal coating would keep the engine compartment cooler? lots of color choises too. the only problem i see is the heat cycling that the barrier requires to cure it. maybe not hot enough?

The quote to disassemble the car was hilarious. ($10k+) The quote to dip the car is steep. ($1.75/lb! Yikes!)
The quote to shoot the car (color/clear) seems very reasonable, and I like the part about it being drawn into places you can't see... Color choices are not the best for me, and what happens when I want to paint it again? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) M |

Here's a tip for gloss black spray can paint. Durable, thick and heat resistant. Find Mercury Marine Mercurser Phantom Black spray paint. I bought some for refinishing my boat outdrive and the stuff is fantastic. I have used it on bare metal bead blasted suspension parts and I would not hesitate to use it on engine tin. You will have to find at a marine store that carries Mercruser parts. Dave H
