Once my blown motor is finished being rebuilt I am going to dress it up a bit by painting the block, the valve covers, intake and the carbs/ flame arrestors.

Any tips on how to do this? I have never done it before and I want to do it right with the proper materials. I have a full shop and even have a decent paint gun I think.

The boat is black and I am thinking of a red and black colour scheme for the engine itself.

I also want to paint my gil manifolds and exit pipes which were powdercoated last year at a place that did a ****ty job that I would like to correct.
