Bought all the supplies but Im having second thoughts as well. Im afraid of it chipping and looking like hell after a bit. Anyone had long term(2+years) experience with this?

Clean as a whistle. Freshly bead blasted and hot tanked block/head/tranny. Engine primer and grey enamel...
How long have you ran with these parts painted? This car will actually be driven on track and streets...

Por-15 makes an engine paint. lots of color choices. it is bulletproof.
i painted a d16z6 engine block and it's holding up excellent after 2 years with a turbo setup.
makes the block really easy to clean also!

will the aluma blast in the 12 oz can really work on an engine. it says it only stands up to 250 degrees F. usually engine enamal is atleast 500.
LOL, no problem. Im glad to see some other people are interested in this as well.

believe me. spend a little extra money and go with the POR 15 engine enamel. you paint it on with a brush. it is pretty self leveling. i hit it with a hammer and tried chipping it off with screw drivers to test it. it is BULLETPROOF!!!!
you can buy a kit. it comes with a cleaning solution and a Metal Ready spray which helps the paint stick even better.
i do not work for POR 15 fyi. i just was really happy with the results.
they make a aluminum color. and it keeps all the oil from staining the block. very easy clean up.

I have to agree with the POR-15. i used on my winter jeep, and the shit is tough. its not chipping any where and it does self level.
