no im doing it in 3 sections, block, head & inlet so then I can quickly and easily remove anything in my way that I don't want to spray. I looked at doing it as one, and its quicker but more of a ball-ache than I want, and id rather try and do a better job while it's like this :)

That VHT paint gets dirty really easily, and you'll never be able to clean it. You might be better covering it with a gloss engine enamel.

why not? :D most people do silver, so didnt want be be 'normal' lol. you'd taken Gold ;) black was an option but that means its impossible to find/see any oil leaks lol! red? too brash for me. yellow? hhmm ill leave that for a hopeful body spray 8-) white? impossible to keep clean

plus i loved the colour of my old car which was a ford escort in Amparo Blue 8-)
