What are your guys thoughts on this? I was thinking about painting the new engine block, my old tranny case, and some other various metal parts. Obviously everything will be painted hot pink and neon blue if I decide to do this. I have some autozone engine enamel, but I was looking at stuff from por15.
hot pink= aluminum colored neon blue= black

I just got through painting shit in my engine bay, with 1200 engine enamel holding up well, and its on my freakin heat sheild. just gotta do some good coats and let it dry real well.

Use the ceramic engine paint they sell at advance or autozone, 500 degree paint is all you really need. por15's pretty expensive

Powder coating is a waste except on headers, the valve covers were powdercoated on my Lebaron and it looked like spray-paint. It was tough but I have seen paint do just as well, on things that actually get hot. I used 1200 on my heat shields and 500 on the block in the Baron. Just the AutoZone stuff. On the Sebring the calipers (and drums
 ) are aluminum color, 500, itÔÇÖs holding up super!!! BLING FOR THE SHOW!!!Just for ref. A set of valve covers for a 3.0L V6 cost me $90 to have powdercoated. :roll:
