I painted my block and heads as a unit, and also painted the water pump and timing cover to match. It was definitely more than one can, and I layed it down with multiple light passes to get even coverage without dripping, so there was probably a fair amount of waste. I want to say 2 cans, I just can't remember exactly.

Yea,, I forgot to mention that as you could see, I painted my intake seperately with some aluminum colored high temp stuff and my fan too.. Then I painted the valve covers black.. So I guess I did only paint about half as much as you did.. But it came out really well,, too bad I forgot to get a pic before I dropped it into the car.. [:@] I was upset about that..

That's what I painted

 

Now thats pretty!! How is that intake treating you? I didnt paint my timing cover because I liked the way the raw aluminum looked after they bead blasted it..

 

thanks for all the info guys..ill post pics as soon as mine is done ive painted everything except for the block and heads which are being done by the machine shop. its all going to be old deep ford blue with all pullys and brackets black. as well as black water pump and timing cover.blue cooling fan...and im still debating weather to go black or blue with the intake....having a sand blaster at my disposal has been so nice.

 

Now thats nice. What kind of high temp blue did you use ?....a "dull" blue was used for mine, it doesnt bling like that!

 

Valve covers are Gold , Fan Black , spacer gold , Oil Pan is gold , the Oil pan bolt heads are blue , went back with original valve covers , couldn't keep the chrome ones tight , engine looks great , gets lots of complements all the On my car and my engine , every body that sees her asks me if she is forsale I have to turn them down , one reason is she is one of the very FSTBK's ever built

 

One other thing. Use a couple of the halogen shop lights to help bake the paint on. It also helps to give it the flowed on look.

 

Post a pic. Id like to see it!

 

I used Plasti-Kote Old Ford Blue high temp engine paint. It wasn'tactually quite that shiny, it was mostly theflash.

And I love the intake Weiand claims off-idle to 6800, and I have no problems running the engine from 1500-6200. It's a little dirtier now (as is everything else), but I still prefer the bare aluminum look for theintake.

 

When I get the chance to take some pictures I will maybe this Saturday , Ive got some miner things I need to work on , wash her also it's been about a week since last wash
