This gasket paint stuff, never heard of it but seems like a good idea. Just brought from sca or repco etc?
Yes this stuff http://www.permatex.com/products-2/p...sealant-detail or http://www.brandsport.com/vhtp-sp21.html

Like many others I used to just use aluminium spray paint like this http://agaus.com.au/product/weicon-a...h-brilliance/; or this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Autotek-AT0V.../dp/B004ZJIPJA that is probably how VHT got into the business.


Just make sure you only use a very light single coating; too much will create new issues. Like a light spray painting guide coat. You should still be able to see the original gasket colouring through the coating.
