Post Motor Painting?
My next project is to paint my Pro Drive motor. I'm going to duplicate the Hydro Turf green camo pattern.

The motor surface is clean and oil free right now.

Are flat Rustoleum oil based colors OK or what kind of paint should I use? It will be a "free hand in the lines", small paint brush application. What areas should I avoid painting? Any do's, don'ts or hints would be appreciated.

Don't paint the oil cooler or exhaust.
