Thread: what kind of paint

Tweet

I am sure this question has been asked but what kind of paint is everybody. using to paint there blocks. Dont mind using a rattle can but ever time I have used one after a while the paint on the block seems to dull. Painting block glossy black. any ideas Thanks in advance.

Make sure the block is clean, shoot epoxy primer,scuff then shoot S/S urethane (3 coats)
have seen engines I've done this way 7-8 years later and they still look new.
Good luck

I used urethane on my 350 block fifteen years ago, and I used gloss black 1-Shot pin striper's paint on my 383 seven years ago. Both worked quite well with no difference in durability.

It will stay on the block good with epoxy, I use the same, Is your urethane the same as our 2 pack ??? different terminology here, our 2pack is paint plus hardener usually 2 to 1 mix
