Engine Painting Disaster - Help!
Spitfire:
With my golden components I just gave them another coat and baked them again at lower temperatures, the crankcases were left to bake when the engine was running.
Cheers

Yep, that's what I intend to do. Nice to know someone else has experienced similar issues.

I've just discovered that's exactly what I did!
Oddjob:
Has anyone tried painting a small piece and baking it. Then soaking it in petrol to see how the paint reacts?
Neil, you have access to a Dremel or similar?

Many decades ago I did that with a car rocker cover using Silver Hanmmerite brush paint that was air dried for several weeks, finally oven baked at a low temperature.
It was oil, petrol & brake fluid resistant, it did go a tad yellowish after a couple of years. Not sure if they have improved the formula since then. It would crack on bulkheads if applied too thickly.
