My Genesis block came painted with glyptol. I had to have the engine decked to get the quench I wanted, and the machine shop ran the block through their pressure washer afterwards. Some of the paint flaked off from that, telling me it wasn't a good idea. I used paint stripper and a wire brush (in a drill) to remove the rest of it, and obviously cleaned the block extremely well afterwards. Don't paint it. It's just a possible failure point.
My 2 cents,
Dan
