Eastwood Ceramic Engine Paint- SBC 355 pictures

[nitetrain4590]

I searched everywhere for anyone who's used the Eastwood Engine Paint with Ceramic, and I still haven't found anyone. So I took a gamble, and painted my block after assembly with the stuff (Gloss Black). My other alternative was the POR Engine Enamel, but I've had good results with Eastwood stuff. Here are some pics if anyone cares or is curious. It lays out really nice with an HVLP, and the 4:1 activator shortens the curing time....but I'm still going to give it 2 weeks before I put in on the dyno.

Im hoping to hear from someone else who's used this stuff or the POR as to the minimum curing time before you start to heat things up.

Your attachments don't work. I have not used it, but have been looking at it for my Pontiac. Did you ever get this on the dyno? How is it holding up? Also, did you have to reduce it on top of using the activator to spray it?

Sorry about the attachments...had to switch servers. No reducer used, just the 4:1 activator, and it thinned out a ton. The stuff is super easy to spray, but you have to work fast....it hardens pretty quick.

This is how it looked before getting back into the frame.

I'm not in love with the POR15 engine paint.
