FrankR; Your primer might be fine as a substitute, I have never tried it? I just would be worried about it being laid down evenly? Never have really thought about it. Might not matter. The spray is so easy to use. You just need a quick past over the back half & your ready. Didn’t mean to imply yours wouldn’t work, just thought you were using it for bolts & stuff. It definitely would take forever to paint a whole V-6!

I agree with the gasket painting the gaskets. I sent you NOS gaskets that are dry (asbestos) in most cases. Paint them well like Frank said. I use a Walmart bag myself so it doesn’t stick so bad, but that is a matter of semantics.
