This project is taking longer than I intended for it to be with work, kids sports and life in general getting in the way. Considering the work that's gone into it for general maintenance, new parts, etc - she ain't bad. Just a recap, but I used a cheap HF HVLP gun that I opened up with a 5/64" drill bit so that I could shoot the paint unthinned.

I'm gonna try and get the turret assembled tomorrow.

Has anyone painted an engine block with Behr Marquee? These LDT’s run pretty cool. Wondering if it would hold up. Latex starts to degrade at 256 degrees F.
Yes, I painted a deuce once that was a full inside and out job. The heat didn't affect it as much as fluid seepage which got under the paint. With the fan constantly blowing and the block surface hot it eventually peeled. Nature of the beast.
