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.

Good to know. Will the same proceedure work on an aluminum block,heads and intake??

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