engine paint on frame

[bigtexan449]

Thoughts? Would engine paint on the frame be good? New guy on the scene and have some extra engine paint. Can I use this for the frame and stuff?

Thanks in advance

Engine paint is designed to cure at high temps, usually requiring baking in an oven. Without that process it may never fully cure properly.

It's absolutely fine to use! Holds up great! It gives you a nice glossy durable finish and has a decent resistance to most chemicals. I've used it on many items other than engine parts. No problems!

I second Tim, I've used some high temp paint on some parts of my 360 and I had to BAKE them to get the paint to set. Read the instructions that comes with it, see if it has to be heated to a certain degree for it to set. The stuff I used would actually re-flow at like 100 degrees and start dripping off the part.

Lesson learned on my part, don't use BBQ paint on parts you can't heat set.
