Yep I painted it with a paint brush, every body laughed at me when I said I was going to do it but it turned out pretty good. The carby shat itself last week end so I thought when it is off I would give it a go. Engine didn't even need to come out of the engine bay. It took me 2 hours all up to do it. Here's some before and after pics.

Good start mate,its a 351 isn't it?????how can u tell???at least i know the heads are open chamber,do any other die hard ford fans know how to spot open chamber heads to closed chamber buy looking at them?????

Orange rocker covers were fitted to 302's, there is absolutely no way to tell the difference between open and closed chamber heads without removing them.

Looks pretty good for a brush job, hope you used something more heat resistant than dulux weathershield...
