Did you use any kind of special black paint on the engine tins? That is another project I will be doing at some point.

That's just another reason I think this tub may be salvageable.

No special paint. Just good ol' rustoleum enamel. I don't think temps get high enough to justify high temp paint. The hottest tins would probably be the under cylinder ones next to the exhaust headers. But if your tins are getting +400F then you've got more pressing problems than scorched paint.
