Post painting engine block
I have read different opinions on painting an air cooled engine block.

Is it ok to paint it??

DB you painted that motor yourself? You even got the oil filter! Nice pattern, looks good

DB's engine looks like if it was professionally done since it's the same pattern as the boat. If I had to guess, he used Camo Designs for it.

I used those before but they have more patterns now and yours came out way better. You tore down your motor to paint it?
