Hey all, firstly a massive thank you to all the help and info that you guys have given me.

i now have a replacement engine, looks bit messy... im looking to paint it pref black.

I know i would have to use high temp paint.. but this is a first for me.

can you guys advise me on what i need to do and be careful of.. or is a case of just buying the paint and painting.

thanks guys

Pretty much yes , just make sure you bung up all inlet and outlet holes, exhaust ports etc. , give the engine a good wire brush to remove old flakey paint and make sure its degreased and clean.

Then follow whatever instructions are on the can/tin.

Does it have to be primed or is that taken care of by the special paint ?

If you want matt black plastikote barbeque paint is good, but engine paints are available from good motor factors

ok thanks guys, cant wait to paint it.. then my next question, as you can prob guess would be.....
anyone willing to lend a hand to put an engine in lol.
