Painting your block/box.

[Beastmode panda]

What kind of paint to people use to paint their block and box with to get good results and not peel off under the heat?

I've used just any normal paint for the rocker cover and has been fine in the past but just thought i'd better ask as it's a bigger area.

Cheers.

If use enamel paint

As above, enamel or high heat stuff. Best bet is eBay, some companies do multipacks, saves you buying a few tins and may save you some dollar

hang the box up, cover the usual places for protection n jetwash all the crap off. then when dry, hammerite it

I used that Bardahl heat resistant paint before and a heat resistant lacquer over it for a nice full shine and a bit of protection for the paint. It has a heat rating to over 800 degrees Celsius.

I used white VHT as a primer and then covered in the desired colour. Not had any issues with mine

Cheers y'all.

BBQ paint is good, scratch and heat resistant and tough as fook.

Il second that, we painted my mates exhaust mani with this stuff over 1 year ago and its still in mint condition.

You can pick it up from b&q

[bucketep91]

Black blocks is the only way. I think coloured blocks are shit looking. Like a red or blue block just never looks right
