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

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!
