POR-15 engine enamel is the dogs bollocks

You can buy if from Frost

Frost

I used the black colour, goes on nice and doesn't drip or run very much. Opacity is also excellent.

I used Plasticoat ceramic/enamel paint from B&Q.

About £3 for a little baby food sized pot (not suitable for babies though) and you won't even use one pot.

Gets harder the hotter it gets.

Comes in a million colours including chrome and metalics.

Never flaked or peeled on my Avon engine either.
