If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hey Daniel, or any others that have used this paint for your engine, questions for you
I just picked up a can of VHT cast aluminum caliper paint, (csp735, 900 degree). Plan on using it to paint the engine (78 gs750).
1. once the engine is clean, do I need to sand it down to the metal?
2. do I need to us a primer with this paint ?
3. how to properly cure it. The engine is in my basement and will be there for 6 months or so. So do I simply paint it and let it sit for the 6 months. I do not have any ovens per say and other than the side covers it will remain assembled ?
4. how many coats did you apply.
Your experienced process would be very much appreciated, thank you
Greg

I blasted my 650G engine with baking soda and washed it with denatured alcohol. I then detailed some places where old paint still remained. I used the VHT SP127 without a primer. 3 coats.
I did mine in April of this year and it was still cold out. I heated the engine with several halogen lights until the surface temperature was 75 degrees F.
After painting I put the lamps back on for another 4 hours and it came out perfect.
I use a glossy black made by Bright Touch which is inexpensive and seems to work well. They have a flat which is nice too. I never cared for Rustoleum paints.

After thoroughly washing the motor with Simple Green or similar cleaner,
I rinsed it with brake cleaner and compressed air.
No primer.
Spray it on and let it dry.
When the motor runs and gets over 200 degrees, it cures.
Of course the best way would be to paint each piece and throw it in an
oven at 200 degrees for an hour or so like it says on the label.
And let it cool.
