Looks like there's a different version that is oleophobic as opposed to hydrophobic - gotta be a winner for veedubs https://www.rustoleum.com/product-c...verwet/industrial-gallons/neverwet-oleophobic
I would use clay dust on the oil. Then it comes off in big handy chunks. Or matt black paint then you cant see the dirt. Or stop the oil leaking in the first place Anyway apart from mirror on the ground perving at shows, who loooks under an engine?
Can I suggest a politician....common all garden one will do....nothing sticks to them. You can of course seek out a Johnson....as they come with both positive and negative charge, spraying each will ensure that always one survives depending on the charge of your oil, and in Johnson terms they are always prepared to sacrifice one, unlike a milliband.
Right at the end of the video, oil is a substance to avoid getting in contact with the coating.......on a VW engine ??
Your right it does However if you follow the link Mark Darby put up they do a oil resistant one aswell. I’ve no idea if they would work on an engine case though
out of curiosity why not paint? I was planning to paint mine over the weekend but i see some other threads people say not to paint the case.
OK now i am confused. is the case alloy? as in paint or no paint wont make any difference to it as it wont oxidise.
If you paint it the metal oxidizes under the paint and the paint falls off in flakes. If it does not oxidise the oil soaked into the pores of the casting will do the job. If you dont paint it it just looks even dark grey.
It will oxidise but mine hasn’t been painted in more than 40 years and the all alloy V8 in my MGB isn’t painted either, but that’s only 24 years old. If you like gold or some other colour then paint it, if you’re happy with dull silver then don’t bother.
Not a fan of painted engines..... probably looking for something that might be used on motorcycle engines i guess!
