It all depends on your preference for aesthetics. I personally have always painted first. I do not like my gaskets painted with the engine, I want distinct appearance and character, I do not paint over my freeze plugs and fasteners. I tumble my fasteners clean to their original black oxide or replace with new. If I am doing dress up, which this engine will have I use all stainless bolts and studs.
