Paint with the hood installed?

[superfragl]

Could you assemble and install the engine, install the hood and then finish painting the car? You could wrap the engine with plastic to keep any overspray off of it.

Putting the engine back together will take a while since I can work on the car a couple hours a day and not every day...

I will leave the hood off for now.

I had to take my hood off when I installed my motor, I had the tranny attached. The paint looks good.
