Hey Adam,
I did this about 2 days ago and i think it came up looking mint as! i used Duplicolor Metal cast ground coat as the prime ( has metalic in it to make the blue really "pop") and the i used Duplicolor metal cast color paint Used wax and grease remover first ( couple $) Then sanded back then Primed and after a few coats of primer i sanded back with 600grit sand paper (light sand) Then the color went on and after a few coats of color and i was satisfied i used more 600grit paper and a sanding block and really carefully sanded back the Ford logo and the 4.0i OHC and it came up pretty nice Pics Below

EDIT: pretty much what A-Bone said up top. By the way, the rocker cover and belt cover came out great on your XH, nice job

Thanks for all the help with mine by the way KWIK, what ya think
Also Adam, the best results are gonna be with about 90% prep work, the cleaner and smoother the better
