POR-15 High Temperature Engine Paint, Aluminum Engine Enamel, 16 Fluid Ounces…

Couldn't believe POR made this engine color for my 1967 MG engine block. Dries slowly , looks great. Made sure you wear gloves and cover anything you don't want it on. Clean with mineral spirits before cure. Don't think you can get it off anything after it cures! Clean block well prior to use and follow directions.

Work great for the application

Purchased this paint for our automotive projects. Paint goes on easily, is durable and looks great! Highly recommend purchasing this paint.

The paint can be applied many ways. I chose the brush on method. I painted the intake manifold in the house and the block/heads while engine was still in the car. The paint goes on thick and self levels. I was worried about seeing brush strokes but the paint smoothed out as it set. When i painted the block and heads, i had to use a separate paint cup so i could cut the paint with a little thinner because the temp outside was right at 60° and it was THICK. I have about 3/4 of the can left. And the paint looks great. It will definitely get me by till i yank the engine out and do the rest

I was excited to use this paint. The instructions say to brush it on, so I did. It looked like garbage, and very disappointing. SO, I used some reducer at a 2:1 ratio, and sprayed it. It looks so good now. I definitely recommend thinning it down a little, and spraying it. I didn’t use hardener, it has enough in it already.

This engine paint was easy to apply and durable. Looks great on my 68 Camaro engine

I have used this product on multiple occasions to paint engine components on several classic '50s Cadillacs. It is good for valve covers, blocks, intakes, water pumps, etc. You can brush it on or spray it on. I usually spray it. When you spray it, you can reduce it if you like but there isn't a need to reduce it much, something like 4 parts paint to 1 part reducer will give you better flow and still provide good coverage without drips. This paint is durable, you can paint hardware and torque to specification without it flaking off if you are careful. Like most paint projects, surface prep is key. I like to sand blast everything to get good adhesion and best results. Also you can use this product without primer if you use a metal prep but i prefer to use a good high-temp primer for best results. Save a classic Caddy from having a Ford blue engine block just because it was convenient to buy paint at your local auto parts store, and give this paint a try--you won't regret it.

Look good.
