Powder coat Engine parts
Integra99:
I've had lots of issues with VHT paint being fuel resistant.. baked it on and looked amazing. A small fuel leak and damaged it, it had several layers all baked on.
Out of interest how do mfrs paint modern engines.. is it powder coat or paint?
Trigger:
What VHT ? And was it baked in a oven at 200c for at least one and a half hours.

Have you used the David Silver stuff I used Plastim Barbacue paint in the past satin black and it was good, what do you recon with the DS 200 degrees for 2 hours after painting or leave it a day before baking.
Integra99:
Yes was baked in a booth oven. I've bought some Hammerite BBQ Paint to try.. my last engine I did in Halfords satin engine paint and it was bullet proof, I just wanted a Matt finish!, Maybe its the Matt finish?
Greg65:
Sorry for jumping in on this thread. I am also pondering the finish Q and was wondering if the DS VHT paint is the preferred choice or the Simoniz VHT enamel paint?
Comments opinions appreciated.
