Irish Mini Owners Club

I want to freshen up my engine so i have decided to paint the block. Im just wondering what people on here have used. Would aerosol cans from a motor factors do or is there other alternatives. Also, if aerosols are sufficient, would they need to be high temp or would the normal stuff do. Cheers.

you need engine enamel, u get as good a finish as any1 would want with the stuff!

Red is so boring.... lol

Loads of other nice FAST colours out there...

I done an engine in a really dark blue a few weeks ago and it looked fantastic, really shiny too..

I do my own engines in Chrysler blue which is a very light nearly powder blue, (you could spot an oil leak at 20 paces with it....)

Check this link for a great range, (they do a load of other classic car related stuff)http://www.frost.co.uk/automotive-paint ... paint.html

you need high temp so the stuf out of a motor factors is fine as long as its high temp
i used a black on mine but didnt put a clear coat on so it looks realy well as a matt finish
