Prep taping and more cleaning on the motor

I cleaned up the area to be taped off using rubbing alcohol.

I still have a few parts not installed that need cleaning, but no paint.

Tapped off the motor to get ready for paint.

Most of the engine work so far has been done at a high school in the mechanic shop or in my computer science class room after hours in which I work at.

I am not set up to paint at work so I am bringing it home to spray it.

KBS Coatings 58003 Aluminum Motor Coater Engine Paint Kit

KBS Coatings 8304 Diamond Finish Clear Coat pint size

KBS Coatings 60302 Gloss Black Motor Coater Engine Paint - 1 Pint

I am going to try the KBS line of paint for this build. Not only can you spray it but you can brush it on as well.

I liked the look of my aluminum and black theme from my first engine paint job. The engine paint has held up well on my current motor so looking forward to painting this one.

2010 - Note I never built my motor when I pulled it out the first time in 2010.

While the engine dries, I am making a small paint booth to keep the dust and air particles down when painting. Cost = $1 in staples. Plastic was donated to me.

To get to were I can spray at home I had to purchase an air pressure regulator for the spray gun, air filter/ water separator, and air line fittings.

I used a swivel stool, plywood, and some tie downs to make a turn table so I did not have to walk around the engine block to paint it.

safety items needed for painting

Went to Pull-A-Part to collect some missing parts. Picked up the alternator brackets, Fuel distributor parts, and handful of missing fasteners

I did not use thinner so I could reuse any leftover paint later from the spray gun.

I had the spray set to the smallest amount of paint to avoid runs it the small crevices of the engine block.

I might clearcoat it after the 7 days...
