    I'm going to order up my blue eastwood engine paint but I'd like to know how many cans you guys think it will take to paint the block, valve covers, intake, pan, and water pump.

    For me - 1 is usually not enough and 2 is way too much - so buy 3 just in case. I hate to run short of paint! :p :29:

    He's right!

    1 1/2 to get 2 coats on. Buy three!

    Whenever I buy from Eastwood ... I always over estimate ... because if you run out you gotta pay shipping again and then wait for it to arrive ....
