Check the label on the paint can it should tell you how to prep for
paint.
I have not used Imron paint in decades is it compatible over the paint on
the engine now? If not you will need to prime the engine first. The prep
work you listed should work fine in any case.
Is Blue the correct color or is that the color you want on the engine?
The 260 engines were painted black until the last part of the B19KC engine
group which are painted Ford Corporate Blue and the MK II 289 engines are
blue.

Subject: [Tigers] Painting the engine
Another in a seemingly endless list of questions.
My son brought me some paint from work, Ford blue Imron poly paint &
hardener .
I plan to clean the old paint with acetone and scuff the surface with a
coarse, then fine, Scotchbrite pad. The old paint is in real good shape and
is
probably factory new.
Do you think primer would be necessary?
I am not going to try to make it a show car engine paint job, I just want
it to stick around for a while.
