o.k i hope you are all sitting down. good ....let us begin.
i am starting to rebuild a 2.0 engine. those of you who know me know that this is like teaching a monkey to fly the space shuttle. so i hope you are all up tp the task. firstly i want to do the important stuff, so am i am gonna repaint the tins and the fan housing (this way, if it never runs it'll look good) cleaned them up, rubbed them down with denatured alcholol, light sanding and am ready to prime. gonna use duplicolor primer and paint. have heard that i should bake them ( have big ovens here, may make my next lasagna taste like a 914,but i'll live with that) but the real question is what colors, high gloss or matte, plaid or stripes, lets go guys give me your ideas, show pics of whats already been done (go easy on the photoshop i believe everythig i see) o.k this is gonna be fun andwhen it's over we will have a new 2.0 we can be proud of...at least i will p.s. my money is on the monkey (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |

The tin was powder coated from the factory. The paint in a spray can (duplicolor) will not last very long. Year tops. BTDT. About 8 years ago I stripped all powder coating off of all tin (MAJOR pain in the ass) . Primered, and painted with single stage enamel mixed with hardener. Looked awesome for about five years, but the heat has now gotten to it and it doesn't look so great any more. Kinda dull just like 20 uear old tin. Powder coat it!

Powder coat it! looked up powder coating on the net, lots of special equiptment, guns, ovens, solvent. any one know a shop near nyc that can do this? problem in ny is all we have is lawyers, stockbrokers and doctors. all the good tech guys are on the west coast. |
