I saw that you painted the engine Canary Yellow, I don't think this wast engine
paint in a spray bomb.
I'd like to paint my motor the same color as what the final body color will be.
What kind of paint did you use , and will it hold up to the engine heat.?.
Can't seem to get any answers from the local paint supplier.
Thanks in advance
