on the 73. The appearance is excellent.even the altenator and manifold Can you offer your method or process/sandblasting? and paint used?
Two years ago, I rebuilt my V4 engine from scratch. I had the block boiled at a machins shop that took most of the paitn off. The guy gave it back to me with a black primer paint( so it wont rust) Before I began to assemble the engine, I bought paint which I thought was quality( Du pont 1500 degree paint) AFter I was done, the engine appeared almost new. I also spayed brackets oil pan, cooling lines etc.
Now, after just two years, the paint looks dull,thin and flaking, the oil pan ..rust appearing...
I had thought of powder coating, yet a few of the experts, suggested it was not necessary.."just paint it, it will last for years". Even though the engine runs great, when opening the bonett for visual pride, there is no indication of my hard work.
