Engine back from blasting

I picked up the engine, gearbox & various bits today after getting blasted and Wow! everything of course looks very new and very fresh ... and also very susceptible to surface rust if any moisture is in the air (for the steel parts at least). For now, I have well wrapped the engine and gearbox in packing wrap to limit any ingress of moisture until I get time to paint those and will attend to the smaller items first. So it's time to mask everything up and paint! I will be using VHT engine enamel for everything except the exhaust manifold, which will be painted with VHT Flameproof. The rough blasted surfaces are perfect for allowing the new paint to "bite" into the bare metal and provide good adhesion.

So for a few hundred dollars in blasting & paint (and unknown hours of my labour), I am confident it will look fantastic. It's a minimal $$ outlay for a big return.
