Re: Engine paint question

Instead of sanding, I would try a red/maroon scuff pad to smooth the surface and get down in the "grain" of the casting texture. Sanding will just hit the high spots. Practice spraying paint on a junk part or cardboard; try to lay the paint on evenly with wet coats so that the paint is thick enough to flow together and smooth out. It took me 3 rattle cans to paint a 292 this way but the results were worth it.
