Engine painting while in the car?

GoldSwinger71 said
My lovely car was sold to me with someone attempting to dress up the engine compartment by re-spraying the engine with blue... FORD BLUE that is... :-(

What's the best suggestion for how I can safely strip off the underlying paint (there's some obvious areas where it had peeled and they just went over it), so I can apply POR-15 turquoise paint? I plan to just brush it on based on other people's experience.

Aircraft stripper and masking?

If you use Aircraft paint stripper - be careful. That **** is nasty and can cause health issues you cant get rid of. Use a fresh air respiratory even in a well ventilated area.
Stay away from Duplicolor engine paint, that paint is pure crap, I have been burned twice - never again. I understand Eastwood makes good engine paint, kind of expensive but hay if you only have to do it once it is worth it weight in gold. IMO
