I have been using yanmar (metallic grey) Marine engine paint it stands up to the heat ok :thumleft:

£5 a tin , used 1 tin now and done rocker cover block and waterpump/themostat housing , still got a bit left

i will be using silver , not metallic grey though when i come to do my inlet manifold and throttlebody , but since my build is expected to be done as soon as i get the cams and turbo in a couple of weeks , i can see me not painting a few of the bits in time , so i will just do them later

driving it comes first :D
