I decided to try the enamel and gas engine painting process that Great  Planes recommends.  Other than stinking I was very surprised.  I went  to scrape some of it off an area that was for a gasket and found it very  difficult to remove.  It makes me wonder why, how and if it would work on  other bare aluminum like a primer.  This stuff really stuck.  Have any  of you tried this?

  

 For those who don't know what I am talking about.  Great Planes  Aircraft recommends to those who wish to paint their engines (VW) that they use  a mixture of oil based enamel mixed 50/50 with gasoline.

Sounds dangerous at first, but actually enamel paint is pretty flamable on it's own, especially if it's thinned with paint thinner. Probably no more dangerous than regular painting. I'm assuming you're using a sprayer?
