Whats the best paint for engines ?

John Rak:

PJ1 Fast Black is brilliant if you use it correctly. Proper preparation is the key. It may not be the cheapest option, but PJ1 is easy to use, gives a perfect finish and is very durable….. if you prepare properly and apply it correctly. It’s the best I’ve ever used.

    paint peels. Stove Enamel has more hardness. Sorry, I am drunk. I have synapsis but I am quite happily drunk right now.

    stove enamel can cope with the heat from the engine better.

    PJ1 from my experience has been crap. VHT from Halfords/auto store have all been crap too. I did use those on my exhaust though. Haven’t painted my engine yet as I’m still looking for decent stuff

    Engine paint? In my hands this would be a disaster

    If you get fuel spilled on VHT or heatpaints it will damage the paint. I’ve heard that you could paint the engine with normal 2K paint also?

    I’ve had fuel all over the the cases after a float bowl leak. I used VHT and it still looks great. I painted my engine over a year ago. As long as you follow the guidelines around baking the paint you should be fine.

    Try basecoat & lacquer, from any bodyshop supplier, make sure you use etch primer. Spray on basecoat, (whichever colour) then two coats of a good clearcoat like Global 50. If you don’t want a gloss finish, ask for a matting agent for the clearcoat, some sell pre-mixed, 0 to 75% will range from Satin finish to a matt finish.

    Old fashioned solution. Zebrite. It’s a black paste used for fire grates. Just rub it in and polish. Comes up a silvery black. I’ve used it on Kwak pipes successfully.

    Not all engine paint is the same. I’ve tried many and this by far is the best. Closest thing to fuel proof you will find in a rattle can. Pricey but worth it.
