Nothing lifts a restoration like a crisp engine bay. KBS MotorCoater is an engine enamel built to take heat, fuel and oil without lifting — here's how to use it.
Why engine enamel, not normal paint
Engine bays get hot and splashed with fuel and oil. Ordinary paint softens and peels. MotorCoater is formulated to resist heat and chemicals and hold its colour.
The process
- Strip and clean the block/bracket back to sound metal — see how to prep bare metal.
- Treat any rust first (Stage 1–2 of the 4-stage system).
- Apply MotorCoater in thin, even coats in your factory-correct colour.
Factory-correct colours
MotorCoater comes in a range of engine colours — match Holden, Ford and Chev hues for a concours-correct bay. → Shop KBS
