Caineoo Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Hi guys, What kind of paint would you/have you used on things like cam covers, intake manifolds, throttle body housing etc.. Would you say it's better to powder coat? High temp paint? Any help much appreciated.

ashbuster Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 ahh nice one, i looked on the tin i have at home and it doesnt mention silicone but when searching the net it said it did have. so maybe the hammerite hammered finish is the one with the silicone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
