Guest Silverghost Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) I just finished rebuilding a giant modular six cylinder engine on one of my late 1920s Full Classics. The engine and cast-iron filler style black paint was sadly removed when the machine shop hot-tanked the two cast-iron engine block units and long cast iron cylinder head.I now need to refinish these cast-iron castings ! When new all the flaws and pores of the iron castings was originally filled with a very thick black engine paint.These engines should look like porcelain with no flaws when finished. If you have ever seen a Rolls~Royce Phantom , Duesenberg, Hispano-Suiza, Isotta-Fraschini, or similar high-end engine you know the exact look I am after~ Is there a paint, primer, or filler, product that I can now use to re-create this look in high-gloss black porcelain look. I need a paint that will withstand engine temps. Normal engine paint is way too thin and might only be used as a top coat ! I am also looking for a cear semi, or low gloss sealer to use on the lower cast-aluminum crankcase and oil pan etc. Thank's Edited November 19, 2010 by Silverghost (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than recommend any specific product, I suggest you do a google search and make your on comparisons and determination.Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
