Prepping an Engine and its Components for Paint
I want some additional input on applying paint on an engine and its components. Can I degrease and do usual prepwork like its a body panel? How do these show car guys get the engine matched to the body paint without it burning off? Obviously my project will be driven.

The best way, is probably a good soak in a hot tank. Then your typical aircraft paint stripper for anything that is left, then degrease etc.
I had pretty good luck with Por-15s engine paint: http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l...Engine001z.jpg http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l..._Engine029.jpg http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l..._Engine021.jpg As far as matching to body color, well I'll leave that so someone else to answer. |
Once the parts are clean CLEAN CLEAN!, we clean 'em again with wax / grease remover, then spray the blocks with regular basecoat / clearcoat car paint over the bare steel. I've got a PPG Deltron coated motor in a car with 25k miles on it and it looks like new.

did you just spray the motor (after cleaning of course) with por-15 and a regular paint gun? I'm going to order some por15 for my ls1 and paint it to match. |

I was thinking of matching my Viper Engine to the color my charger body would end up being. |
