Default Pics from Silver lake dunes, and question on engine painting

first off we just got back from silver lake for the second time and i now have a link to the pics

Silver lake pics

only about 4 of those pics are from this current trip, the rest are from the last trip. (i went with 2 other utilities...lol)


of course where is the camera when you actually have a chance for a good jumping/power sliding shot? most of the pics show crappy jumping spots, but the one where u can actually see sky under me is more of a flat jump...only goes about 4-5 feet high but 20-25 feet in length (those are the kind of jumps we usually hang around the most)


ok to the second question....i know someone in here (maybe more than one) painted (highlighted) thier engine blocks with orange/yellow paint.... i have been meaning to get around to this but havnt....

i could use the info on where to get the paint (ive checked a few hardware stores for heat resistant paint for over 200 degrees but havnt had much luck matching with the orange...
i did see a yellow ds that had a powdercoated yellow frame/arms and had PAINTED his entire engine block... it looked ok...but somewhat goofy... i plan to just highlight the words rotax and bombardier and the small stuff.... (should i use a very finely tipped paintbrush or somthing else?)

ill do a search to see if i can find more info but any help is appreciated!

well i know a guy who painted the letters on the side of the motor n has picts in his gallery [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img], he used car paint, sanded the letters, put a very thin first layer, and then about 4-5 more coats after, still holding up great
