I'm pretty near finished painting the engine in my '54 3100. Bolting parts back on today. Painted in the truck.

I used dark grey engine enamel paint from http://www.fillingstation.com/.

If you are painting the engine while it is in the truck, spend time planning your schedule. Seems like I wasted a lot of time masking off areas multiple times as I needed to paint other items.

Good luck.
