Ive got my engine out of the van and on a stand stripped partially.
I'm looking at painting it before it goes back in.
Its pretty much just a block with the head still on it.
A few questions. -
The block is currently black with plenty of surface rust on the front. Whats the best paint stripper to use initially? I've heard nitromors isnt much good any more.
Whats a decent paint to use? I want it to be caterpillar yellow. I don't have a compressor or paint gun so it will need to be brush on or rattle can.
At the moment the block is stripped down. Is it better to bolt all the brackets and ancilliaries back on and paint or paint things seperately? I know the latter migyt be more labour intensive but I don't want to make a mess of it.
Thanks
