Hey all has anyone had any success painting an engine with 2 pack or other paints as I have been looking for metallic engine enamels etc from stupidcheap and the like and it would seem they don't exist.
cheers Jason

As I lay rubber down the street I pray for traction I can keep, but if I spin and begin to slide please dear god protect my ride

I painted my motor with VHT rattle cans a few years ago and it has lasted, I noticed in a recent mag that they have metallic and anodised now.
