Hi guys,
I placed this question in another section and did not get many responses.
I need some help determining the correct color of the engine tin. I am taking the engine from my 1974 2.0 to get powder coated. I am not sure if it should be painted, semi-gloss, or satin black, or what? Any and all information is welcome. Also, the tin still has the white numbers and letters on the side that looks like "EA370 and 621". Does this need to be protected or not?
Thanks,
Bill.

First protect the numbers. Or find someplace to create paint stamps for them.
Not sure whether or not you can make the numbers work with a powder coat finish. I'd "real Paint" them myself.
