fake enamel?



I would think food coloring and fabric dye would not mix with epoxy since those two coloring agents are water-based.  Now, you CAN buy tint made for polyester and epoxy resins!  Check with the boat-building people on the www.
I would think the expoxy would hold up to the temps on the cam cover okay...

  I heard from someone that you can mix epoxy and food coloring or fabric dye together to create an enameled look, similiar to the blue lettering on 16v heads. Has anyone tried this? Does epoxy hold up to heat? How well does it stick to metal?
