Default Re: Engine repaint

I like black. My buddy, who worked at high end street rod shop, gave me a few tips to painting an engine.

1) Clean it like you are doing surgery. Once done, clean it again.
2) If using a brush, use foam brushes
3) You don't need high temp paint. Use it if you have it, but you don't need to. Think of all the street rods in the '80's/90's that were running around with pastel colored engines. That was the same paint they used on the bodies.
