500 degree paint or acrilic paint

decided im going to paint my engine and engine compartment this summer and i need some advice.... its been 6 years since it was painted last and i dont know what the owner beofre me used.... (it was probably a hack job)

is 500 degree paint that good???? has anyone had any problems with it

i think its too good to be true and that i will have to use acrillic paint for the engine


im looking for what will last the longest and how long... any help out their????

 

Use engine paint on the engine, and regular car paint on the engine compartment.

 

thanks dave

 

If you really want it to last....all old paint will need to be removed off the engine.

 

Not at all hard to do with aircraft stripper, or Kleen Strip. Even easier if you have access to a caustic bath.
