Engine Paint

Post by drivewasher »

Just got a tin of green engine paint from ESM.
No instructions or data with it! Engine is out of my van I'm going to de-greace it and steam clean it.
Does it need any primer or etcher or is it just paint it on when all is dry?

After degreasing just paint it on, if you've no heating then it will take a couple of days to harden. :o Use white spirit to clean the brush. Cheers Ian.
Should be ready for tea time.
