but it sounds like this project is really getting off the ground--lots of work in a relatively short period of time

I painted all parts seperately and masked everything off meticulously ... The only thing I really painted while attached was the ip pump and some touch up once all assembled ... In a marine application everything is typically painted to prevent corrosion ... Never had a problem with boat motors and they are sprayed assembled with tons of paint.
