green engine paint

[MaluLani3]

My engine has has a new turbo installed recently. It wasn't painted and has started to rust. Where can I find the right paint to match the rest of the engine? Is there a recommended primer to start with?

Thanks,
Terry

I painted my freashly re-built turbo exhaust housing black in the hi heat styl 8 yrs ago and it has held up well.
If you want VP green you can try marine parts express.com. Ive purchased both the spray can and qt. brush on from these guys. These paints are pretty pricy with shipping and all and best to attach other items with the shipment.

Any of the Volvo dealers have it but get ready to bend over, $15 per can.

Thanks for the info. Should I use primer or does this stuff go on the bare metal ok?

I always use a good primer.
