Re: Engine compartment transformed in 12 days
There are two different zinc paints. One is a charcoal type color which is the regular zinc phosphate and then there is the clear zinc which is a blue/gray type finish.

Re: Engine compartment transformed in 12 days
As long as its back up for discussion, I'd like to know how the alternator was done. Replaced or painted?

Re: Engine compartment transformed in 12 days
I used the Eastwood satin clear on the brake lines.

Re: Engine compartment transformed in 12 days
I just started my engine compartment. I used satin black all around the engine and it looks great. I need to clean my intake manifold and repaint my heads orange. Can I paint them with a brush? I don't see how I would be able to spray them without removing them. I just put in new header gaskets and they finally don't leak so there is no way I am pulling them off anytime soon.
Anyone ever used a brush to paint their heads or block? Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Engine compartment transformed in 12 days
as stated, use lots of tape, newspaper, plastic wrap and small old towels - to wrap things or cover areas that you can not anything else to work. lots of patience too - be careful of overspray - cover fenders, hood, etc. use old valve covers when painting engine, then install nice finished ones.

Re: Engine compartment transformed in 12 days
Awesome job. I bought the same under hood insulation,haven't installed it and hate it. Did you find the factory-look molded one?

Re: Engine compartment transformed in 12 days
Yezzi, about the bolts you media blasted and painted with satin diamond clear, how well did that hold up over time? I know you don't have this truck anymore, but wondering if you've done this to one you've kept a while.
