Finally getting to it!!! 1970 Duster 340
It was an eventful weekend. The weatherman forecasted nice temps so I decided to paint my engine. I constructed a temporary paint booth in my garage using plastic sheeting and my electric garage door tracks. It assembled pretty much as I had planned with staples and packing tape. It cost me about $29.00 to assemble.
I used an HVLP paint gun that I bought some time ago to paint walls at home. The paint was Delstar Acrylic enamel purchased from Frank Badalson.
This was my first attempt at painting anything of this size on the Duster. I'm very pleased with how the engine looks. I even managed to duplicate a couple runs and drips just like the factory!
I'm looking forward to bolting the rest of the engine components on and dropping it back onto the K-member.
