Bob, if you used POR you will probably need an angle grinder :-)
If it is just overspray it will probably come off with some wire wool. If it
is a thick layer and there is a lot of it I would probably try scraping it off
and resort to solvent or chemicals as a last resort for fear of messing up the
rest of it.
I am about to paint my block this afternoon and I was dismayed that after
visiting three local auto parts stores nobody had any brush on engine paint,
only spray cans. I'm planning to spray some into a container so I can use a
brush where I need to.

Subject: [6pack] Paint on Block Question
Yesterday I painted the engine block and got a little over spray on the
Manifold mating surface on the block. All the intake & exhaust ports were
blocked off but some spray did get on that part of the block. In hindsight
(being 20/20) I should have put the old manifold gasket on the engine to
cover that area. My question is: Will the paint interfere with the sealing
of the manifold gasket and if so, what's the best way to clean it up? Paint
stripper? Acetone? Belt sander (just kidding).
Thanks
Bob
