I am having my engine block tank dipped, magna-fluxed and machined. When I get it back it will be ready for painting. Any tips on prepping and paint? I am a newby so all info will be useful. Thanks, Kevin in Houston

jrb56 Jun 14th, 02, 4:33 PM POR-15 engine painting kit - some don't like, I love it, makes the block look like it is coated in plastic, do a search on"POR-15 engine paint" here and in Engine/drivetrain section. http://www.por-15.com Brushes on, takes an afternoon or two.... nice stuff.

Never had a problem with the paint discoloring or burning off. Looks fantastic even years later. Best stuff I've found. Mike kmchugh Jun 15th, 02, 12:56 PM Thanks for input. This site rocks.
