I was working on , the final things on a V-4 crossflow. <br /> And, I was wondering . <br /> How do you guys, paint the powerhead , after a rebuild?<br /> I see , alot that like to paint , after its assembled.<br /> I clean-up , and paint, each component individually , then assemble.<br /> I leave all bolt heads, nice and shiney. <br /> I mask all bolt holes before painting.<br /> I just like the way it looks.<br /> Sometimes, I paint bolt heads a different color.<br /> Just curious, thanks.<br /> <br /> Believe it or not, colored permanent markers . Will last, a long time, on the bolt heads. <br /><br /> I buy a set with several colors. <br /> <br /> Does look cool.<br /> <br /> KYHunter :)

I just cleaned the two I rebuild up, covered intake and cranckshaft ends, washed down with thinner, primed and sprayed semigloss black. Looked great when asembled, really satisfying.
