MRWEST Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Whats the best way to paint a engine? Degrease, waterblast and blow some paint on? Any paint in particular (does it need to be the heat paint like you get from repco) Dont want to do it and find it all falls off once its back in car and got to pull it all out again lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I did mine with degreaser and then sprayed prepsol all over it and wiped it down then used proper VHT engine enamel primer and topcoat - hasn't come off yet other than the places I scratched it when installing/working on it..

MRWEST Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 Yeap thought that stuff might be the go, have used it for engine bits before just not a whole engine..... You just bought it in a spray can (didnt use a spray gun or the likes)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Just used the spraycan. (sprayed the degreaser out of a can and prepsol out of a trigger type bottle) FYI the primer code is SP148 - and then whatever colour you want on top of it. For my 202 I used a spray can and a half of degreaser, a spray can of primer and most of 2 spraycans of topcoat (black) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKer Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 When its all one colour Brad : I would suggest stopping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Too many details in my post for you Jarred? I would have thought details would be helpful so he wouldn't run out of product half way through the job. My mistake. I.ll change my help to just yes or no answers in future.
