Painting the AMC 258

The engine was power washed, hit with a wire brush and some de-rusting solution.  Then cleaned again.  The distributor, fuel pump, oil sender, spark plugs, water pump and thermostat housing was removed.  Everything was cleaned again then things were masked off.


The spark plug holes where the most difficult part to mask off.  Tape circles were cut out then tweezers were used to mask the holes.


Time to put some lipstick on this pig.  For the paint I am using Seymour EN-66 AMC blue metallic spray cans.  It was given four light coats.  The block took one can by itself.



My replacement oil pan was also painted.


Still have to paint the pulleys, valve cover and intake.
