i am planning on having my Vette painted "Atomic Orange" i think its a 2007 corvette color. my question is how can i paint ( have it painted by a pro) this color and have it hold up and stick to the block?? i wanna do all my fab work and test fits while its still raw from the machine shop and once all the fab work is done have the block painted Atomic Orange and while thats being done i can paint the engine compartment black so it will stand out more.
any info on this would be great. thank in advace guys.
 
the first question Id be asking is ..is that paint your going to used formulated for use as engine paint to begin with, if its standard auto paint it may not stand up to the heat, constant exposure to solvents and thermal induced changes in the blocks surface dimensions.
engine paints formulated for the intended environment its expected to live in.

theres some info on block painting in these threads/links
