1st,you don't want sand anywhere near your block,2nd,I don't know what the shop did to your block but I have a good idea what they didn't do,they didn't tank your block,if they had you wouldn't have any paint on it,3rd,you can get good engine paint at any auto supply store.When I did my hot rod over I used Eastwood for my paint supplies.
I think if you become a new customer you get a nice discount for signing up.

Re: 2 question in 1
the only thing i did to the block was the mechine work done and the crank turned ,i have not had it built yet just had it bored 40 over and resurfaced,so now knowing that what would be the best way to try to make it look new as it can
