Reply To: Engine Block Cleaning Maintaining

Eastwood now sells a 2k engine enamel that I used on my ’29 block for the first time. It is amazing paint, and if it does as advertised, will give you as good a sheen as you can get. It is, however, a challenge for the novice. It is very thick even with the reducer. If you don’t have experience with this type of paint, take it to a shop. Not sure if they have clear or aluminum, but the gloss black is better than regular basecoat clearcoat for sheen, and is tough as nails.
