    Any body knows what type of paint I have to use inside the gearbox and engine.
    Some of the paint are release (see picture sorry for the quality).
    It is for a Ferrari Testarossa.

    Don't repaint. Blocks and some other castings are painted at the factory to stick any remaining casting sand in place so it does no damage. Any paint that has come off will have taken the sand with it and is no longer a problem. If you paint and it comes off it could become a problem. Nothing to be gained, just leave as is.

    Good advice, leave it alone.

    If you do end up wanting to paint the inside of the engine/trans, Gliptol is the type of paint to use.
