High temp paint on the entire engine would it be wise? Just looking for people thoughts on this topic.

 

i was wondering the same thing. i want to do my engine in aluminum to make it look new

 

I painted my timing chain cover and valve cover red. Looks great and holds up well. If you use Engine paint, it shouldnt be a problem

 

Yes, was wondering if it would hold any extra heat and if so how much perhaps.

 

What should be done to it before painting?

SHould it just be cleaned? or bead blasted or what?

 

My covers that I did, I just cleaned them up real good and painted them

 

Here are some pictures. Don't mind the water drops, I forget to wipe them off[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Pic #1 and Pic #2

 

Modquad- Whats your thoughts?

 

I'd degrease w/ Jungle Jake (Same as Simple Green). Then degrease again with a non-residual brake/contact cleaner. Prime, and paint with some good engine epoxy paint. Uh, you'll see my results shortly....and just a few other things. hehe [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

The laboratory speakers are beginning to rip. The extremely long, and late hours of constant Metallica have them waving their white flag. The shop lights are all burned out with the exception of one bulb. My hair and beard are down to my knees. The bags under my eyes from weeks w/o sleep are a slight distraction......but the defibulator paddles are getting ready to give the initial spark. All the rabbits have left my yard, cause the Predator is about to emerge. American Chopper....what's that? This is AMERICAN QUAD!!!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Always good natured, but sometimes a bit evil.

 

Thanks Mod,

My quad will be done being painted by the end of the week and hopefully back together.

I never had to clean the engine up much cause it is a brand new 04 with not even an hour on it yet. lol

Mine is a NWA Quad.
