No, and you know why. We did this in public last time and that didn't end well for you. The ban will stay.

How much paint would I require to paint a mini engine? Would 250ml really do it as this ebay ad states: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUSTIN-MORRIS-MINI-COOPER-RILEY-ELF-MOWOG-BRITISH-RACING-GREEN-ENGINE-PAINT-/380792443579?pt=UK_Car_Accessories_Car_Care_Cleaning&hash=item58a8ff92bb

Aye itll be properly degreased with gunk! No half arsed job :D Got to do it with the engine in the car though :/

far better with engine out so you can degrease and get into all the nooks and crannies . proper job.

It's doable in the car, assuming you're stripping manifolds and ancillaries off to get access. Thing is, you won't be able to wire wheel off the old paint as effectively to make the new coat last, but it should look good for a little while!

Someone reversed into my mini! :( Bonnet doesn't sit flush any more, looks like the wing has been bent!

Oh god yours is worse off than mine! My car was shunted backwards by the headlight which seems to have twisted the whole front end. It may knock back into shape but if not at least its an excuse to banish some rust... Turns out the guy is related to someone who lives in my road which will make it harder for them to wriggle hopefully!
