Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral High temp engine paint

was given some free foilatec engine paint yesterday, and dazza gave me his old rocker cover to, so i decided to put the two together and see what the cover looked like red.

i had to mix some hardner with the paint, which i done, so i painted the cover and left it overnight to dry. checked it this morning and the paint still feels a little bit soft so im just wondering if i didnt put enough hardner in, and if i brushed some hardner over it would this work?

anyone used thi stuff before??

the paint was a pain to do, as it was really thin, an you have to use it quick, so its came out quite bumpy, so if i used some 1200 wet and dry would it take the shine off the paint??

I am always wary buying cars with painted/jet washed engines.

Dont know why, just looks dodgy unless done to an amazingly high standard.

can't say i've ever jet washed me engine, have given it a clean before though to get all the **** off it, leavin it dirty just looks untidy

just leave it alone anyway adam!!!! and get something to hold ur boot up instead of golfclubs!lol! that shoul be ur next mod!

im just waiting to get to a scrappy to get one of them if your not busy today do you wanna give me a lift to one? <img border="0" alt="[laff my ass off]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions042.gif" />

will pick one up for free though soon enough an there's no rush for it, its just a case them letting me in to look about lol

anyone!??

Cheap a$$ student!! oh and adam check out DemonThiefs for that hoseing you wanted

To be honest, rocker / cam covers dont really get that hot.

The high temp paint is quite thick, and is hard to get a perfect finish

I used normal 2 pac paint and laquer on mine, and never had any problems with the paint bubbling or blistering - even on the right hand side where it is very close to the manifold:

they only got it in black daz

thats a really profesional looking finish you've got there stuy

i painted it about 2 weeks ago and the paint still feels a bit sticky, an i've covered a couple hundred miles since then, i might try and smooth it down with some wet+dry then put a thin layer over with plenty of hardner in it to make it look a bit smoother, and hopefully dry completly hard.
