What advantages are there to painting the inside of the block?
I just did the full inside of my 360 block with red glyptal. My impression is, you ever tried to slide barefoot across course concrete vs. polished concrete? I would think oil likes to slide down a slicker surface. Just my two cents but to each their own. Do the proper prep work like I did (wipe down the inside with acetone on a cloth then use a handheld torch to help cook oil out of the pores) & I would see no problem of it flaking off.
