It will thicken up when it's stirred, the solvent has probably separated from the pigment that's all.I used hammerite smooth on mine and others and it holds up well if suitably degreased first. Blocks don't actually get that super hot anyway so heat isn't a huge concern. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

Epoxy 2 part primer will do the job better, brush on once you have mixed the 2 parts using the correct ratio. Then once you have left it enough time to flash off you can apply some 2k black on top. Epoxy will if there is some slight rust on the block help stop it rusting anymore. Its perfect for aluminium blocks too, it wont peel of like many other block paints on aluminium.Ask at your local paint-shop for car epoxy primer if you do want to use it. Iv used the same stuff and it chips off too easily, wished id used epoxy primer but i didnt know about it back then. ________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.
