I used the Krylon Hammered silver along with the Krylon gloss patriotic blue on my Ford Super duty 6.0. hammered silver on the manifold and detail or dress up parts. Blue on engine parts expected to get REAL hot, Heads, valve case then, stand out or, dress up parts turbo, down pipes etc. Both paints perform very admirably. Makes the engine look very dressy real clean and both paints are holding up to about 11, 000 mi so far. And that's on a F-350 pulling a fifth wheel from California to Texas during July. Then, a few more States during the summer completing my 11, 000 mile journey before this last Halloween in 2024. The hammered silver and the patriotic blue hold up to the heat of the compression engine, that being a diesel. It had no problems when I change my fuel filter and oil at the same time. I did spill a little fuel and Diesel is in all that good on paint but better than something like brake fluid. It dulled the blue just a little bit. Otherwise you can't notice it unless I pointed out. Just like the video says though, take your time during nice weather, a little goes a long way meaning, slow layers. I did my engine parts with about five light layers and 15 to 25 minutes in between each layer did just fine. The results are absolutely mind-blowing! My preparation was kind of Hillbilly but, I used to scrub brush and a couple of garage rags with gasoline. Put all the parts out on the driveway well I was finishing the others then, began to paint them in the order I brought them out under the driveway. Hung them from the clothesline out back and lay the paint just like the video tells you. Everything turned out really nice and still after the high heat from California to Texas there was no variation in color, no chipping no peeling, nothing bad.
I know if you look on back at the directions, it tells you that it sticks to plastic ceramics, metals, glass all that kind of thing. Nowhere on the label does it mention anything about high heat engines. And we know a combustion engine gets pretty hot. Actually I touched it when the engine cooled down after the long part of the drive. And it kind of gives the metal exterior as ceramic coating feel. The heat versus that paint kind of made it harder and much more protective. I kind of saw that on the bonus side. But if you try all this and your project fails you crap all over your rubber work, fan, front window, wife and kids? Well, that's all on you! I kind of think that Krylon has all sorts of possibilities and all sorts of beautification ideas. But it also depends on the person and their abilities to use good common sense. Expect what you put into it and if you do a half ass job or run out of time that's all on you. Just use your head and you have real fine results like I did.
So, for those of you wanting to know if this will work on an engine? Yes, it does a very nice job. If it can handle the heat of a compression engine it can handle the heat on your little ricer too! ✌️😉👍 If your friends have ever told you that you stupid or dumb? This may not be the job for you.

Would this work with metal that is in hot temperature like an engine bay or bbq pit
