Re: Engine primer and paint

Resprayed this engine last weekend after cleaning in Purple Power, brake cleaner, and a bristle brush. Local machine shop bead blasted the oil pan, valve covers and timing cover for a very reasonable price and it was totally worth it; I literally sprayed them down in brake cleaner to degrease the finger prints then shot the orange.


Dupli-Color low gloss black, VHT Chevy orange, and (uncured) VHT header paint on the manifolds. Previously all of the engine was in Dupli-color Chevy orange, which held up pretty darn well over the last 15 years.
