Gonna paint my trickflows engine color. Anyone have any ideas or prep techs or paint preference to get this shit to stick to aluminum heads?
Funny it sticks to the timing cover like a mofo but not the intake and heads...go figure.

I used a red scotch bright pad and wd40 to roughen the surface a little.

Tape them off good and run them through a bead blaster.
