Bringing Ford Corporate Blue BACK to Life (Part 2) — How Far Should You REALLY Tear It Down?

Fixing a faded engine bay on a classic Ford? In Part 2, we push deeper into the teardown and prep process to bring that tired Ford Corporate Blue back the right way—without going too far (or not far enough).

After 24 years, this engine didn’t get this way overnight… and fixing it properly takes more than a quick scuff and spray. So how far DO you go when repainting an engine in the car? This is where things get real.

In this episode we cover: deeper engine teardown decisions, what stays vs. what goes, continued use of NPD’s Ford Corporate Blue (AP-EB), and dialing in the process for a clean, lasting finish.

If you’ve ever second-guessed how far to tear into your engine before paint—this is the part you don’t want to skip.
