Purple engine paint

[100BUR]

I know this won't be everyone's choice
I'm looking for a recommendation on a good quality deep purple engine paint for a new project
Brush paint.
I've looked at Frost but nothing also Etech only caliper paint from them.
There's the Cadbury purple on Ebay but looks a bit to glittery for me, and I can't find any recommendations on the quality.
Thanks

Try Craftmaster Paints. https://shop.craftmasterpaints.co.uk/

They don’t have a purple engine enamel listed but might be able to mix one for you. Their MOWOG green is always good quality.

I used a grey Craftsmaster engine paint on my last build. The block was chemically cleaned, so no rust and it started to show rust through the paint within 6 months. I wasn’t impressed. I’m constantly touching it up. I’ve never had that happen on any engine before.

I’ve tried Rustoleum on my latest engine, they do pretty much any colour.

Dulux radiator paint ?
Nice variety of colours and it's designed to go onto hot metal.

I've never used a genuine engine enamel as I use Hammerite.

Can't beat a bit of Deep Purple to go with the engine roar

Let's hope there's not too much Smoke on the water, once it's up and running again

You don't need any special engine paint. The "Spraying Enamel" I put on my engine over 25 years ago is still fine ..bit chipped around the edges but hey..

As the guy in the paint shop said ...if the engine gets hot enough to burn the paint then you've got bigger problems on your hand....

Cheers, Ian

They never used special paint on ships generators & engines it shouldn't go much above 85-90 C just use enamel paint.

I’ve used hammerite many times.
Friend used to just spray them in normal 2-pack and never had an issue. Any colour you like!
