Hi all - i am planning to repaint my nc30 engine this winter as its looking a bit shabby, i've painted engines in the past with heat resistant spray cans but the finish hasn't been all that good, was just wondering if you can use normal 2k paint as i'm after a good finish thats long lasting, i have a spray booth and compressor etc, any advice gratefully welcomed, Cheers, Martin

What temp will the 2 part go up to?

I'd estimate that 150degrees is the maximum temp you'll ever manage to reach and even then that's not likely (and the paint going would be the least of your worries if it got that hot).

If it`s any help, I`ve found that Ford Graphite Grey metallic is the best colour match for an NC30 engine...

LBS near me do 3 cans of engine paint called honda silver / grey / black and its' a perfect match.

Next time im over there i'll find out who makes it, considering it comes in a can I was surprised at how good it was last time I used some ^_^

Rick is right (as usual anyway) Ford Graphite Grey is the colour you want as an 'off the shelf' can of paint. Here's my results,
