Rapco Spray cans on Engine

[swiss]

Will the Rapco 383 paints rattle cans hold up to the engine heat on the valve covers and other engine parts EXCLUDING MANIFOLDS.

Search returned that others have used enamal OD green non heat on engine parts with good luck.

I have some Rapco and wanted to paint some items while I have them off.

Thank You!

No experience with the 383, but the 24087 (Gilespie) holds up on an M38a1 engine.

I've used 24087 on my A2 engine and it holds up great. I've not used 383 on an engine, but I did use 383 green on the exhaust stack of my A3 and it is failing rapidly.

Gentlemen thank you for sharing your experiances, the base paint chemicals should be the same in the Rapco product line with different color pigments. So I am going to give it a try on the engine parts. It will look alot better than the High Heat Grill Green color I was thinking about using.

Thank you again for posting!

I'ved used the 383 green on my m35 engine and have had great results. I did not use it on the exhast manifold, it won't hold up.
