This isn't exactly a 240 question, but this forum is so active and this is such a general topic I felt a cross post was appropriate. (The engine in question did come from a '75 240 so it does kind of belong here...)

I just got the b-20 that's going into my 122 back from the machine shop this week. It's nice and clean, though now the well worn paint is showing it's age.

Since the block is out of the car, I figure this is probably the best time to paint the thing.

I was wondering what the process you guys use to paint a block. I'm not looking for a show room finish, just something that will look decent and hold up over the years.

Here's some pictures for your enjoyment!

Thanks as always!
