Default Priming Engine Baffling
Does anyone have a recommendation on a primer to use for the engine baffles? I assume it should be something that stands up to a high temp environment. Thanks.

Default Have you considered not painting?
Even though I primed everything else, I left the baffles bare. I believe many other people leave the baffles unpainted.

Depending on the color you use, painting may make it more difficult to detects cracks.

Default Lycoming Enamel
It not a primer, but I guess it can withstand high temps.
My A&P uses this to refresh engine painting.
