Best spraypaint to panit alt. brackets/pulls etc?

[oldblue1968chevy]

I have my alternator brackets some pullys etc etc.

I have some bedliner stuff left over. Should I paint my brackets with those? How hot will it get? And what kind of paint (rattlecan ) Should I paint my pulls etc. with?

thank you!

i like spraying that stuff with duplicolor enamel then i put in a 300oven for 45min or so

[oldblue1968chevy]

whata bout 'colorplace' enamel in gloss black? Will it hold up to 300* in the oven? Do I need to put a primer on it? If so what kind? I have some etching primer and just cheap 'colorplace' primer

noone is home

If It's White or Black I found Appliance paint works well. It's an epoxy and I don't believe primer is required

Or, even BBQ paint.

You should be ok with the bedliner though but if you gotta buy the paint why not engine paint.

I already have bedliner and i like how it looks/holds up

but im interested in baking the spray paint..

I had some Rustoleum bedliner lating around and shot all my stuff for my SB for my Jeep Cherokee with it I think it looks really nice...



I also used it to paint the valve cover on my Honda and it's holding up great no issues.

Huh..Didnt know if you would hold up to valve covers..I would think it'd melt.

nice motor^ specs?

It hold up amazing. Very oil resistant and scratch proof. I lines the side of my jeep with it and haven't broken through. And my Honda is used in Solo Racing and haven't had any issues with it.

the motor is a 69 327, Had it rebuilt a few years back Mostly stock aside from being blueprinted and balanced, and a mild cam. mostly head work SS Valves, better springs And what not. running about 350/325

I use Krylon semi flat, that is the closest to factory color and I have never had a problem with it burning on brackets and pulleys

[67-72trucks]

I use PpG base coat clear coat.1 coat epoxy- 2 coats of base-2 coats of dc3000. Over 20,000 miles on the truck, engine compartment and motor look flawless..

How do you prep primer paint them? I want durable. Thank you!

[oldblue1968chevy]

Sounds about like mine, what heads?

Ok I think as of now ima paint my brackets with bedliner unless another better opinion...now gotta degrease prep more crap ew lol

i wouldnt use bedliner on valvecovers it would tend to keep the heat in i'd think. you're better off with something that allows heat to come off the valvecovers as they do aid in slightly cooling your oil

The stuff I used is essentially just spray paint with sand in it...

[oldblue1968chevy]

I used bedliner on the brackets,,not sure about the pulls yet..I dont want something heavy because its a balance blueprinted engine lol paint is heavy enough LOL

[oldblue1968chevy]
