Painting the engine tin

Just putting our 76 conversion back together again following full resto.

Thought it would be nice to tidy up the engine tin but have heard that even heat resistant paint can flake off.

Ideas anyone?

 

Powder coating

 

Thanks, will research it some more

 

I did mine with tractor enamel but be aware its very time consuming prepping and painting every piece

 

I'm another who had theirs powder coated

 

i just slapped some epoxy anti rust paint on it has been fine

 

I use normal Hammerite. If heat resistant paint flakes off it either hasn’t been applied properly or the engine is overheating.

 

Powder coat

 

Some idiots put a prog weber on one of your lovely engines!

 

Is that mine?

 

Powder coat for me too - hand over a box of oily corroded crud...

 

Not yet... and yours will be green

 

Phew

 

Done at a cost of £120 including the dash, photo attached.

 

No I think it looks like mine. How's it going Paul?

 

i looked at painting it

but with degreasing it , sanding it , primer and topcoat

powder coating seem like good value for money
