What the hell is happening...

When wiping down my engine today I noticed that the coating on the top of the engine is starting to bubble. What can I do about this?

You can either watch it bubble some more or beat the system and paint it. I did this the the engine on my 190E and it looked much better. I recommend painting it red or yellow for the HP boost.

Sweet, Where do I get it and what is the best brand? It's just the gray part that is starting to bubble the red part is fine. I think yellow will look awesome with the red center. I can also paint the kompressor letters yellow...now that would be the S***t!
