I sent message to Comp Cams... No reply for 3 weeks (I was busy, so did not follow up - I think I need to give them a ring).
Fall is coming to my location, so having probably one of last warm and sunny days I went for it and painted by block.
3 different paints there. Wash Primer (with anti corroding additives), acrylic primer and acrylic paint in color. Should last for some time. All properly cleaned and sanded before applying the paint.
My kid was picking up the color from the ones on the shelf (orange, yellow, navy blue, dark grey, black, light grey and the one on the photo).
Looks nice and should match nicely the color of the car (orange). And no-one would tell me it's Hemi Orange or so
Few parts (main bearings, con-rod bearings, head gaskets...) are still on the ship from the US.
I was trying to sort out a hotter cam locally, but due to that gear on the cam the cost of the cam here is like twice what comp cams asks...
Anyway hope to start some deburring of the block when the paint is fully dry. Then proper cleaning... Just this damn hot cam now... Being that far with that engine build leaving the stock used cam is a no-go IMHO.
