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) |

Factory tin was baked on enamel paint, not powder coating.
Powder coating is the simplest way to replicate the correct look. Go to www.eastwood.com and look for the powdercoating kit...its a simple small gun. most of us will just find a local powder coating shop and pay them to clean, sandblast, and powdercoat the tin. Its alot easier, and you need to concentrate on rebuilding the motor. If you have to, rattle can paint works fine, get high temp stain black. If you are careful about spilling fuel, it will last.
