Engine Block Paint

[H One-Twenty]

I’m currently rebuilding the engine for my SIV. Can anyone recommend a good quality HT paint for the engine block? The local auto parts stores only seem to carry rattle cans, I was thinking of using brush on paint.

I've used 2-part marine epoxy in the past in my race engines - on the inside and outside of the block - and it works a treat. Color selection, however, is limited.

Dupont Centari A/E gloss black. Never use any activated urethanes on bare metal, it will flake off in about a week (after it really dries hard)

I used Duplicolor HT engine enamel on my 1725. Goes on fanastice and dries quickly. Has help up great for the short time it has been on. I would definitely use it again.

What colour should the Alpine engine be painted? All all series painted the same colour?

Gloss Black
They were all painted black except the last of the seriesVs. They were a grayish-light blue.
