Engine Building Tips - Painting Prep and Painting HEMI Orange 440 MOPAR 512 Stroker

Surface preparation, primer choices and painting

[@toddmillican1926]

Glad you mentioned prep all. I use it always before painting. It was nagging at my mind, and then you brought it up. Bravo!

[@PetesGarage]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@toddb930]

Man, Pete, that looks like a work out! Thanks for the painting tips.

[@PetesGarage]

It was!

That engine looks fantastic, I love the all one color look I know some people spaz out when you paint aluminum but the aluminum is still all there and the engine looks like one complete unit instead of a bunch of parts all bolted together

[@PetesGarage]

Thanks 👍

[@TheAyrCaveShop]

Good one Pete! You nailed it...Great info !

[@PetesGarage]

Thanks 👍

[@MrBonzoMan]

Excellent Advice! 😎

[@PetesGarage]

Glad you think so!

I always try to wash my engines with water and a good detergent. But since this engine was completely assembled that would be much harder but you could have sealed it up and used detergent and water to rinse away all the debris and oil. But it definitely looks good like a factory paint job

Thanks for sharing

Thanks my friend

Pete have you ever used the bill Hirsch engine enamel? I have a 383 68 roadrunner and the turquoise is only available by that company. I don’t like the rattle cans. Any tips or suggestions?

[@PetesGarage]

I've never used it. POR makes a Pontiac Turquoise www.eastwood.com/por15-engine-enamel-classic-chrysler-turquoise-pint.html

[@HowardGoldman]

I like that. When it looks good - Stop.

[@PetesGarage]

I even do that with restaurants
