Anyone had this happen to their corvette? The red paint on the lettering on the top of my C7 engine block has half flaked off.
I would like to restore it; wondering if a standard red engine enamel would be a-ok for this?

This also happened to mine.
I removed all the old paint with nail varnish remover, then cleaned it up and very, very lightly sanded it. Then I used red standard touch up paint I had from my Kia car. Took a few coats to build up, but looks great again, now.
I've heard of people using red nail varnish, too, so I guess red enamel paint would be fine.
Good luck with it - it's quite a rewarding job when it's done.
