When you guys yank the motor are you painting the engine on a stand, what do you use to strip the old paint, what paints are you using?

Sorry for the questions but my dually needs to have this done.

Kudos man, your truck has been my screensaver and inspiration for months, hope mine turns out about the same, swapping the 73 grill on next.

Dragging this back to the top. Did you use the zinc phosphate on the brake lines as well. I want to touch a few things up before putting my truck back together. I need to paint the fuel and brake lines on mine and also get some under hood paint. Is Eastwood only a direct dealer or can you buy their stuff through a distributor.

Re: Engine compartment transformed in 12 days
 
There are two different zinc paints. One is a charcoal type color which is the regular zinc phosphate and then there is the clear zinc which is a blue/gray type finish.

As long as its back up for discussion, I'd like to know how the alternator was done. Replaced or painted?

Re: Engine compartment transformed in 12 days
 
I think I am going to buy a can of the silver cad, clear zinc, and the under hood black. Maybe just get the zinc phosphate just to see the difference. I need to get my fuel and brake lines painted so I can get the frame put back together.

I used the Eastwood satin clear on the brake lines.
