Do you paint your engines fully assembled?
Is it?
An old, worn and clapped out engine would look exactly the same when painted all over. After the paint-dunk, one can't easily prove the engine has been apart anymore, or even at all.
That's the image I get when I see engines painted like someone poured a bucket of paint over it.
Nice example below, where I'm seeing telltale signs here that this engine has had a '$10 Spraycan-restoration' by the seller.
Clueless buyers who usually only look at paint, whether it are cars or engines, might fall for this and get taken badly;
For me cleanliness comes with tidyness and eye for detail; Prepping parts for paint right after they've been machined or worked on, then go on to another part as the engine build progresses.
I like to be able to see/confirm new head and valvecover gaskets if one claims an engine has been rebuilt. Not thick paint and drips on everything and other attempts of hiding a possible slappy build job.
I simply don't trust showpoodle engines.
