Paint recomendations
hi, which paint do you all use, ive used coach enamal paint before, trouble is takes such a long time to harden, so can you suggest anything else that leaves a really nice finish
Re: Paint recomendations
Ryan If you want it to stay good and looking nice its worth the wait to let it harden off

Re: Paint recomendations
I use Polyurathane.
Gives a really nice glossy finish and dries fairly quickly, but is an absolute B--ch if you get petrol on it an leave it.
You have to wipe any petrol off straight away or it just peels.

Re: Paint recomendations
On the last engine i painted i sprayed it and used Cellulose, which is great if you want fast drying, however, beware, Cellulose reacts with contaminants, other paint, and wrong type thinners, so you must get everything right first, after that, it will dry very very fast (10 minutes per coat. tops) and harden nicely
