What process did you use? Have you done this before? I'm curious if the paint will flake off once you fire the engine up?
I'd read a thread where a guy painted an engine with either Krylon or Rustoleum (I think it was Krylon) then baked it in his oven at 250F. He says that the paint doesn't come off when baked on that way...
Very nice job. You were inspired by an old McCoy 35, right?

Yes, I have done this before. That guy you read about was me and the thread I posted on painting my Saito .45 red. I always use Krylon and bake my parts at 250*F for one hour. Makes the paint hard like powder coat. This time, however, I used Duplicolor engine paint. Had a coupon for it, and so far I like it.
As for the old McCoy 35, I'm afraid I have no clue what it looks like. Actually, my inspiration is coming from the old hit n'miss engines with the similar paint jobs.
Thanks for the compliments!
