What should i use, didn't know whether i need heat resistant paint or should i just use hammerite?

[binge]

Hammerite will do...

[CAU998]

Thanks ,i didnt want to put hammerite on to find it running down the back of the block. When i start the engine especially after spending hours rebuilding it.

Nope, you can also paint the actual Block with hammerite too.
Just let it have a good 24hour drying time before you run the engine.

Cool, thanks!

lol... you eyes were watching something else Jammy

and back to the thread... I use Hammerite on blocks and head, but not on the exhaust....

Jackman's is painted using coach paint... in a vain attempt to get the yellow looking yellow and not mucky brown...

JMan, just do what GW does when one of his engines gets dirty, build a new, freshly painted one and put that in!

What about the engine paint from MiniSpares?

Red
Yellow
Black
Green

(not 100% that the yellow is engine paint, guess you'd have to ring)

Also you can get engine enamal from Halfrauds.
