TBH it better be Rush lol.

Nah seriously its fine, Josh used that on his and its more than adequote. Its clear that the bottom end is painted black originally anyway as its cast iron and would develop rust if it wasnt. Where the paints aged over time (R reg engine) theres a few small bubbles that are formed under the original paint.

These bubbles at the moment arent any real problem, but when dremmeling over them there is some rusty colouring just under the surface. Well worth keeping clean for anyone else who looks after their engine and perhaps top up this paint. Hammerite is guaranteed for 5 years aswel on a single coat
