I'll be getting my 3b block back from the machine shop this weekend, and
I'd like to paint it prior to putting the engine back together. I realize
that I'll need high temp paint, and I had been thinking either black for
the factory look, or white, so that I can find leaks once it's running
again. BUT, my dad suggested to me that I could paint it LA3A, mars red,
to match the car that it's going into and to detect leaks.
I'm assuming that mars red high temperature paint isn't available, so
where would one look to get some, or to have some made? I could prime it
this weekend, and paint the following weekend or even later if lead time
is an issue. Am I crazy for thinking this?
Thanks in advance for suggestions!
