Re: paint engine

you might have trouble sourcing heatproof laquer in aerosol cans i couldnt find none an that heatproof paint halfrauds does looks like grey primer but they do silver,red an blue
clean everywere with thinners after rubbing it down an crack on with the colour
iv just polished a xsport lump but i painted the head matt black

Re: paint engine

you can get heatproof paint and it gives you a gloss finish so you dont need laquer it will be nice and shiny

Re: paint engine

just steer clear from the halfords black gloss heatproof paint as it looks like grey primer
