Freshly painted engine
The paint went on my engine last night and I am really happy with how it looks. Now all I have to do is put it back together.
It seems to be a colour you love of hate (most people hate). I love it
It is focus RS Green, a 3 stage pearl.

I can't recall seeing a green engine before, looks like a cracking job. Look forward to seeing it with all the ancillaries back on. Take it
the car is going to be green?

I'm not to fussed about the new green ford's - the old Imperial Blue still does it for me...

Hi
You seem to have had the mating surfaces painted, (apologies if this is not correct), and I'd be concerned that engine fluids will seep between
the paint and the base material resulting in leaks, which would be annoying and possibly detrimental.
I would remove all paint from the mating surfaces before rebuilding the engine.
Regards Mick

I want my MR2 painted in that colour! I'm told it's very expensive paint though.

I have seen a green engine before......
Would have gone for a darker colour myself as no matter how hard you try they always get dirty.....
I had a Chrome Baja Buggy engine.......

Should really get about 100c anywhere except around the exhaust ports, where almost nothing would survive.
