sirhc Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Technically you should be painting it with heat resisting enamel, but I've just used the semi gloss stuff in the past with good results. It always looks nice untill you fire the engine up, it leaks a bit of oil and then the fans blow the oil around the engine bay covering everything in a horrible dirty film!
