For those who did it, what did you use? How hot do you think the engine gets (non exhaust pipes)? We are looking at some 500 degree paint now. Any areas you’d avoid painting?
Shes got a clean surface now so we figured it would be a good time to do it.
Last year I painted a 390 using catalyzed engine paint from a can - I purchased it from Eastwood. This stuff is cool- the can has two chambers ( one for paint and one for catalyst ) and you tap the button on the bottom to puncture the catalyst chamber when you're ready to use it. After that, you have up to a week to use the contents before it hardens inside the can.
I'm just now preparing to get the engine back in, so I don't have temperature experience with it yet, but it's rated to 650F. I know that the paint is quite hard once cured- much more than standard paints.
I wouldn't recommend and non-catalyzed spray can paints- they just don't last.
