Painting the Block with POR15

I decided to paint the block with POR15 engine paint as it has a reputation for standing up to the 'solvents' that we have under the bonnet on these cars, be it brake fluid, hot oil or antifreeze this stuff is supposed to withstand them.  I hope!  When I did my engine a couple years back I used the spray can engine paint and clear coat from my local FLAPS and while it looked sharp it came off just as soon as I had a coolant leak, this time I wanted something more durable.  It was a PITA to paint it as it is intended to be brushed on and in this case required 3 coats,  sadly there are drips, but hey! It's an engine block-deal with it ;-)


Cheers,
Lynn
