After I stripped the various engine parts, I used a red heat capable primer, fine sanded things like the valve cover, and then top-coated with the Moss Motors T-Series red engine paint. I also added the metal identification and patents plates to the valve cover using small rivets. Smaller parts , such as the valve cover and oil filter canister were also baked after being top-coated. On the block and head I painted over the head studs and nuts as that was the way the engines were painted originally. Later, when I put the car on the light and was able to clean, strip and paint the oil pan. I think things turned out very well indeed! See the process and results below –
