Would make leaks REAL easy to spot...... impossible to keep clean though.
Thought of that but yeah with me going off road that's a big no lol. Black was the factory color and that's going to be the theme of the truck. Black and plum crazy purple interior and plum crazy purple paint job
I may not get the whole block painted in time taking a look at it (a lot of grease build up) as I have about a day and a half to get everything done.
you can try pressure washing it before you remove it. i pressure washed and painted my engine while it was in my 81 and it came out pretty good. i used duplicolor engine enamel. it is very quick drying so i pretty much use it on everything now. if prepped right it usually sticks good. plus with a spray can you can kind of squeeze in places you can't fit with a spray gun. of course pulling the engine and getting paint everywhere would be a bit nicer but you can still get a pretty good result without.

What did you use to degrease it? Also I'm using a car paint on the engine as they don't make my color in engine paint
mainly pressure washer and soap. the pressure washer really doesn't have too hard of a time removing grease/debis on its own. it cans sometimes just be hard to get the right angle to get to everything while under the truck. what color are you wanting to paint the engine? duplicolor has a pretty good selection of colors as long as you don't want something too unique https://duplicolor.com/product/engin...l-with-ceramic
