Where to get custom colored engine paint?
I'm having a new 540 put together and want to paint it to match the colors on my boat. The color I need is a Dark Pink/Magenta. I've looked at Duplicolor, Krylon and Plastikote but don't see a color even close to this listed for engine enamel. Would an automotive paint supply shop be able to mix an engine enamel? Have any of you used other types of paint on engines with success? I'm assuming I need to use a high temp paint (500 degree).
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I have painted all the engines in my boats with the same base clear urethane I use on cars I paint....headers too....as long as they are water jacketed......the green engine and headers at the time this pic was taken has over 100 hrs on it...
any jobber can match any color you wish...

Most paint shops can color eye the color you want for a custom paint mix.

Re: Where to get custom colored engine paint?
Nice looking motor. Thanks for the info. So what you are saying is I don't need to use a high temp paint. Are there any paints I shouldn't use (one that could cause a fire)? I'm only going to paint the block, heads and intake, not the exhaust.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
