Recommendation For High Temp Engine Paint Please

I used Simoniz Engine Enamel on my 748 sump & crankcases (but not the crankcase covers). I used an ‘aluminium’ colour one, it may come in other colours, so far, so good.

 

Xylan coating is my preferred choice. Lots of colours available, quite cheap and it doesn't flake..

That's the one, slightly different labelling to the can I have but maybe they've repackaged it. Yep, it's a good match for the original colour paint on mine; the 'silver' bit below. I don't have a photo of the rear of the crankcases which were the worst part.

 

Hi Johnny, I meant the sump.

The crankcase covers on my 99 748 were a dark grey (looks more like black in the photo but it’s not) I matched it by using Zinc Phospate and lacquer.

 

Last time I had something done, which is a few years back, a side cover was 12 pound if I remember right. Not much more than a rattle can of paint would have been.

 

Uh, at that price I'm not surprised. I'd have done the same.
