More and more of our customers use this on custom pistols / rifles but has anyone ever used it on engine components ? Seems tough enough and will take the heat for sure just don't know if it will handle the vibration and oil etc. of the engine bay. Any thoughts ?

I think I'd rather speak with these folks:

Rasta and I both have used their services with great success. _________________ Stefan

I was more referring to things like pulleys, water pipes, thermostat housing etc. instead of just rattle can paint.
I would not use a random unknown product inside the engine.

I used cerakote on exhaust on my Gulf, white 924 2.5 16v etc, works very well. Have not tried it on pistons yet and probably won't. _________________ '83 924 2.6 16v Turbo, 470hp

Was it genuine Cerakote or a generic alternative ?
Btw, I want to come to Estonia. Saw a Youtube vid about it and man, what a beautiful country and what beautiful women. . .

Yes, it was genuine cerakote, I have black, titanium and the beige one for pistons.
Thanks for the compliments man It is cold there right now and will be colder next week (forecast says -25c at nights), that's why I am in Miami right now But have to go back there eventually though...
