guess what i'm up to? :D

anyway what would be the best way to paint the block and gear box casing (and may be the head)

Thinking etch primer then some high temp paint. problem is most high temp paint is boring silver or black and not pretty pink, so what are my alternatives?

cheers

love phil



ps; 4th gens rule

Do you need to prime with the usual high temp paint though? Kinda asking for my own thoughts really.
