Painting Engines
#1
Hi All,

Not sure what to do. I will be pulling the engine out to fit GTI6 exhaust manifold. Ill be giving the bay a good clean and possibly a bit of spraying in places. What should I do with the engine though? Ive got silver hammerite and a whole load of GUNK engine degreasant. 

Should I take an extra day to degrease, pressure wash, dry and paint the engine?

I imagine that it would look great for all of two seconds and once oil and grime reappears it will be a pain to repaint and keep clean. Should I just degrease it and leave it at that?

Thanks,
Sam
