What color is your block
I 'm considering changing the color of my Ford Blue engine block to Black. Can I just paint over the original color?

My Bare Naked Lady is bare everywhere.:3DSMILE:
I have painted blocks in the past...a good solvent and a steel brush should take off whatever's gonna come off. Cleanliness is the most important thing. |
Ditto..
I have heard that Cobra blocks were painted black vs. the standard Ford blue, but I am sure that Computerworks or some other Cobra historian type can give a definitive answer. |
Black.

ALUMINUMMMMMMMMMM :D
AND THE GIRLS LOVE IT :3DSMILE: |
Were the 428s black as well?
|
428s in the Cobra were Blue
|
To answer the question, yes you can - but don't put lacquer on top of enamel....it will craze.
Just clean it really well and spray away!! |
I love being different.
Mines Yellow. |
I love the old ford DARK blue,it is hard to find now,,that light funky stuff is everywhere,I think black is the correct 427 color though,lots of them werent painted at all in cars other than cobra,to lessen heat they say.
Joea,get some liquid "Deglosser" at a paint store,or wal mart,it softens and takes away the shine,,also called "liqud sandpaper" it works great with no sanding.enables you to succesfully paint over the old paint. Tks |
427 S.O., Black
|
Yup, black was the correct color for the 427 block--just not for the body.
hehehehe.......... |
So, just to confirm, black would be the correct color for the 289FIA block?
|
Didn't hear any mention of the 289...so far I heard
427 - Black 428 - Ford Blue |
my 390 is dark ford blue with aluminum color water pump, distributor, intake and valve covers.
|
428 FE, dark ford blue.
