Vintage Pontiac Engine Compartment Makeover - Rattle-Can Roll-Call - Pontiac Tech

Steve masked off the compartment leaving just the long-block exposed. He says, "Since this engine had no flaking paint that needed to be scraped or feathered out, after wiping it down with PRE, it was ready for paint." Using two to three cans of Dupli-Color DE-1610 engine paint (correct for '59-'65 Pontiacs), he applied several light coats to ensure that even the tight spots were evenly painted. He then allowed it to dry overnight. "It's easier to paint the block with the spark plugs and valve covers installed," he says. "Then I replace plugs and remove the covers to do a more precise sanding and refinishing on them." View Related Article
