Painting your engine, What Paint to use? was created by Allshookup
I would like to paint my engine black and then go back and file the fins to accent it. I was wondering what the best engine paint to use is?

I'm sure it's been covered on here before. Use the search function and you should get several threads covering it.

do the majority of your filing and sanding before you paint the motor,then just run a block sander over the fins after the paint drys really good .
