Getting ready to paint my 3 cylinder 4000SU. Pretty much got it all apart now and getting ready to rebuild the engine.
What 'Blue' should I use? Brand and Color? Don't want no clear coat or anything like that.
Just a good durable paint. Would you paint the engine with the same paint or should it be some other high temperature paint.
Going to shoot it with and air gun, but what about mostly unseen parts like under the sheet metal? Can I use a spray can? Thinking I'll paint the parts while off
Then once mostly together spray the whole thing.
One other thing. I picked up a engine spray paint can at O'Riley's. Seem there are two shads for Ford blue now. An old one and the new color. Guy said the New was for '90 and above.
Thought it looked more the color but bought the Old instead. Not a match.
