Has anyone here painted there block ( I have a 4k) before??

 

what do I need to mask, can you give me any tips on doing it??

what is the easiest way??

depends how far you want to go

 

strip the whole block. head, water pump, oil filter, fuel pump and any thing else i forgot

you must clean the block relly well get rid of all the gresse and dirt.

 

or you can mask every thing of that you don't want to paint.

make sure you have engine block paint.

 

and have the motor out of the car

Hot dip cleaning the block cost me ~40 bucks and it was bare. Needs new cam bearings and welsh plugs afterwards though.

 

I used 1200 degree engine paint, but I didn't prime. Next time I think I'll prime it as well to smooth the cast texture out a bit.
