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?

Re: Engine Paint
Just get engine slightly warm and paint straight on and a good tip is warm the paint in boiling water

Re: Engine Paint
After degreasing just paint it on, if you've no heating then it will take a couple of days to harden.
Use white spirit to clean the brush. Cheers Ian.

Should be ready for tea time.
