Project scope creep is very common!!

ls block paint
 

Does any body make a high temp clear? I have a new ls-2 engine would like to keep it looking new. Any option's other then paint?

I bought some automotive epoxy clear at a local auto parts store when we installed the 383 in Mary's 73 Camaro. Sprayed the intake, heads, wheel centers of TT2 type wheels, anything that was bare aluminum. The clear darkens cast surfaces a little so I was careful to not put it on so thick that it made the cast surfaces look glossy.

Looks good!! I may be doing that here in the near future, but I need to rebuild my engine first.

clear
 

Should the shinny/machined surface's be scuffed? maybe with a red scotch brite?

ppg
 

theres a spray ppg makes that you use a scotchbrite with that not only cleans but etches it for better adherance for topcoating...

good info

Digging this up. Any feedback on how it is holding up over the years?
