Another Paint Question

I was thinking of painting engine block the same color as the body. Has anyone ever used the same paint as body, mabey with a bit more hardener or some other additive. Biggest concern is the paint not being a high temperature paint can you make it that way by adding something.

 

i have never done it but have friends that have. they said the trick was extra coat of primer.

 

I've used regular automotive paint on engines in cars and boats, it holds up just fine.

 

The trick is not to get to much build up with your product.You can lay down a coat of etch primer and then lay your colour on "wet on wet".
Assuming you are using a two part system.

 

regular base/clear holds up just fine. Normally I clean and prep well, spray with some epoxy prime then shoot regular base/ clear. No extra hardner.

 

Prefect.......its that simple, I like it.......... Thanks
