Painting engine?

I picked up my 273 this week in pieces. I am going to assemble the engine complete less intake manifold on my engine stand. I will loose bolt my old valve covers on the heads just to protect the rocker assys. Then I will wipe it down with laquer thinner and give it a light shot of epoxy primer. Then I will shoot it with my hvlp with a couple coats of bright red single stage urethane enamel. Let it cure and go from there. I hope to assemble the engine during July and have it painted by the end of july. I am still powdercoating my suspension parts at the moment--------------------
