any recomendations? is hammerite good? or do i need to buy a heat resistant paint?

[Baldspeed Racing]

Hammerite will just bunr up slowly and stink, high temp is your best bet mate

[Retro_10s]

Hammerite will be useless. Get engine enamel or Hight temp exhaust paint.

All available from halfords, motorfactors, motorworld etc etc etc

I'd only use a UHT paint even engine laquer will get toasted when you're sat in traffic.

Well I engine lacquered part of my system, rather embarrassing when I took it to a rolling road. It went several shades darker and peeled off through normal usage afterwards anyway.

Hammerite Barbeque paint - I do all my lcb's and exhausts with it and it leaves a nice satin black finish that looks perfect.
