Custom/Hybrid Painting motor

[Lil Dick]

Has anyone ever painted there motors go clean them up with like high temp spray paint was just wondering an how would it hold up an in salt water

No need for high temp paint. The motor doesn't get hot enough to cure the paint.

Ive done both. But the Teflon coating has held up the best. http://www.x-h2o.com/album.php?albumid=605 there is a thread I started but cant find it.

I'm pretty sure high heat engine paint doesnt take a high temp to cure, it will just withstand higher temp environments without flaking and/or melting.




Anyways, sand blast the jugs, head (if stock otherwise leave the head alone because it probably is beautiful billet), cases and flywheel cover.

Buy some duplicolor engine enamel with ceramic (can probably be found in any autoparts store). and paint away.

this stuff will hold up for forever.

Duplicolor Metal Cast looks really cool. My friend does all his motors with the stuff and it always comes out great!

I painted an engine in Ford blue engine paint then the blue metal cast over that and it looked really nice... Held up well too.
