Seymour Aluma Blast engine paint
« on: October 22, 2024, 10:01:48 AM »
 Has anyone tried it? I'm curious how it would look on a cb engine case as well as a few non-motorcycle projects. The ads make it sound pretty long lasting as well as restoring a cast appearance.

I havent used Seymour Aluma Blast engine paint, but I have painted a lot of engines with a lot of different paints. BY FAR the best results (accuracy and durability) has been using a spray gun and shooting POR15 Aluminum engine enamel.

Sprays on very smooth, air dries over 24 hours and does not need to be baked. I have engines that are in regular use that look fantastic with this paint.

The link is for a pint. Was that enough to spray all the engine parts?
