I’m disassembling a 1.7 parts car engine and want to paint the fan housing for a future engine build. After a couple of hours of scrubbing and cleaning I can see metal underneath all of the caked on grease and oil! What’s the best next step cleaning and prepping process before paint? Is oven cleaner ok to use?
Thanks, Jsaum Attached thumbnail(s) |

Cerikote is good stuff. I’m not sure the fan housing gets hot. Isn’t it’s purpose to bring in fresh air? If so, it shouldn’t be getting hot.

Some had mentioned not to paint or powder coat because heat would not dissipate. The cerakote to me is a good option. I believe there are many applications where cerakote is a very good option. I was shown the booth where he applied it and it had some serious fan and filter, it must be very toxic to apply. |
