90 Cherokee XJ rebuilding

Neat work sms1878! What primer/top coat you are using on the parts? For example on the engine/tranny/casings etc which will be in hot conditions, what kind of primer to be used in order to keep it from flaking off after short while? I have probably made some shortcuts while cleaning/preparations prior to the painting...

Thanks in advance..

hey thanks. i ll put them one by one

engine block: no primer. cleaned with metal brush and driller then wiped with thinner. used brake caliper paint. needed a bit thicker coat.
transfer case: aluminum primer up to 220c and hot black paint up to 600c.
transmission is same as transfer case.
intake manifold and valve cover: silver hot paint up to 400c.
exhaust manifold: not painted yet but looking for vht 1300c black paint to buy.
drive shafts: applied regular primer, will use with brake caliper paint.

hopefully they will all hold.
