Guys I have a powder bus on the side. With 1 coat I am at the same thickness as 2-3 coats of high temp. Also powder coating a block can benefit the temp by using additives to help dissipate heat. Or in the case of headers I can use a ceramic coating, before I powder coat them
Although I know high temp is the way to go.........
My buddy nate has painted his V-8 block in the past. His truck was show quality........
The paint has held up fine for over five years now. I'm not suggesting a krylon paint or anything, but his block was sprayed with the EXACT same paint as the rest of his truck. The prep work would be a bitch.
My friend did this to his 350. First, spray surface with heat resistant primer, then spray with the color you want, then spray with heat resistant clear coat. He did this awhile ago, lilke 6 months no signs of the paint coming off.
