Simonize engine enamel is very forgiving. As is plastikote bbq paint.
Be aware both remain fairly soft until they've had a few heat cycles to cure them properly. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

If the parts are aluminium, it will need an acid etch primer.
It will refuse to stick if you prime untreated aluminium.
And make sure all the wee dings are removed before painting.
Last engine I painted was my BSA C12. But that's has a cast iron block and head.
The paint is still on it.

I've not known a liquid cooled engine case to get much over 100C-212F if that. but it's possible the areas around the exhaust headers may get locally hotter. |
Quite, oil/fuel resistance more important than temp tolerance in most cases (exhausts excepted) ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750

Im aware of the duller reactive layer on ally but what is that
white powdery shite that seems to eat it away?
You often see it lifting Powder coating,paint and on long neglected casings
why do dat happen? |
Dats the ally rust/oxide. usualy happens due to damaged paint and powder coat (chips) letting the (salty) water in.. If you paint/coating is proper good it won't happen but shit paint and primer is porous and so..
Normal rainwated ain't too bad so aluminium 'rust' on windows and greenhouses is light. Power coat, e.g. on wheels that traps salty moisture under, is the worst I think..
or that could all be bollox. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750

There are different forms of aluminium oxide and the presence of salt solution makes a different crystaline structure which isn't well adhered. It's been a long time since I studied this but I believe chloride spectator ions are to blame. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.
