Quick Paint Question
« on: 02 February 2010, 19:31 »
Is Hammerite paint alright to use on my aliminum cylinder head or would proper high temperature paint be better?

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

would hammerite be too thick to paint the cylinder head with? assumed it would need to be sprayed
