good advice from Lynn... i used the family baking booth to do my brake expanders, gently warmed them up then sprayed the paint on what a lovely finish.
Andrew if folk were to criticise you for a blue paint.... i will get stoned to death for painting mine in Grey
i see the engine (in the words of chip foose) as the jewel in the box...no truer word spoken in the case of a carrier... i feel the internals of the engine bay should have been painted white as per modern MV's. i used to paint all my rally x engine bays white.... yes they get dirty quicker but at least you see problems like oil leaks, minor fluid leaks etc etc sooner.
