I did use etch primer on the crankcase halves and then VHT paint over the top but then read (on the can) that the VHT should be straight on the metal? so did the heads & cylinders without primer but blasted to get a good surface.

Also not sure how heat resistant etch primer is but the cases don't get as hot hot as the heads anyway.

I am actually wondering if VHT is too soft and if I should use some kind of clear coat over it?

At the moment I have the case side covers done in etch prime whilst I'm deciding on what colour/finish to do them...
