For sure Darryl, there's plenty of overspray evidence to support that. If i had a clean bare metal engine to work with like the factory it'd be fine but I have 30 years of dirt build up and flaky paint instead. I think to do a proper job that all of this should be removed prior to painting but with a fully assembled engine this isn't possible. Don't get me wrong, my primed engine is satisfactory but for my next resto I'd like to step things up a little wink

I'll post some progress pics soon for those interested... cheers2
