Here's a question to you folks who have painted your engines.
I now have the manifold, water jacket cover, carb, fuel pump, everything off the engine, have plugged all the holes with paper towels to begin sanding (wire wheel grinding). After its sanded, will I paint right up to the plugged holes (my preference), or reinstall the parts and paint with everything back on (will get paint on all the bolts, a pain later I should think).
Ok, this is a two part question.
Six months after I installed the new head, it is as rusty as the rest of the engine, so the original paint is not going to last. I want this engine to look good, so can you suggest a primer (if needed), type of paint (white I want), and have been reading about a high temp clearcoat?
Any and all ideas most welcome.
thanks
Joe
