Painting brake disc edges

Adam,look out for the postie in the morning

I guess the engine might reach a few hundred degrees

The manifold will certainly see high temps, I guess I could apply a small patch of hammerite to one of the pipes under the bonnet to see how it bears up.

I suspect Hammerite will melt and maybe even burn at manifold temperatures. If you are thinking of painting the manifold then only High temperature paint will do (IMO ).

The engine is water cooled so the outside of the block should not reach temperatures higher than 100C .

I still believe that for the cost (similar to hammerite) engine paint is a worth while investment. Surface temperatures on the block may exceed the levels elsewhere due to the heat radiated form the manifold.

I wasn't going to paint any more than a test stroke - just interested to know how hot it can go!

Cheers, Justin, will do.
