Has anyone ever prepped an engine for paint using brake clean, or lacquer thinner? Have the engine out of the frame and degreased. Just looking for final preperation.

 

Good soap and water clear rinse best air dry in warm climate and paint in room temp atmosphere can also use newer type coating hammer base tough paint

 

Looks sweet! The motor is fresh, there residual oil from the rebuild. I was thinking brake clean and compressed air as a final prep. Thanks.

 

Most brake clean has an petroleum base that will posably effect your paint finish.

 

Dawn dish soap, parts brush, and hot water. Rinse, dry, paint.
