painting injection pump and other engine parts
painting injection pump and other engine parts
I'm going to swap the IP. Wondering if painting it requires high temp paint? I'm getting goofy and want to start painting random stuff whenever I replace it. A silly color and a ridiculous number of clear coats.
Also how about intake manifold high temp or no?
I read valve cover doesn't require it. I threw some rustoleum on a spare and will install soon with a report.[/align]
Picture an LSD junky's dream. I know block, head, exhaust Mani, turbo all require high temp stuff.

The IP gets hot but I doubt it would be insanely hot-the only heat sources would be conduction on the block and that tiny oil line.

larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?

Regular paint turns goofy colors with heat from the engine. My grey painted head turned brownish grease color on my tractor. but that's also near the header.
Make sure you prime them and clean all the grease off, or the paint just peels off.

They make engine paint. good up to like 300 degrees or something.

i used regular spray paint, actually the hammerite stuff cause it helps hide flaws, on differnt things like air cleaner box, PS pump cover etc.
ive used 2000 degree on exhaust manifold on a couple cars. and i think 1000 or 1500, on intake, with nice shiney silvery paint. it held up well.

Ive tried using 2000 degree header paint on my header on my tractor and it just burns it off.

In the works: A/W IC, adjust pump, turbo rebuild (w/60 trim comp wheel)

You can use normal car type paint on most of the engine. 2K is a favourite of custom car builders. Other than the headers and exhaust ports none of it should get over 90c and some of it a a bit less. The important part is preparation (no old oil allowed) and priming especially if the parts alloy where I would recommend a good etch primer. If you want headers to stay finished then ceramic coating them if your only long term finish. Wouldn't recommend painting the IP.
