Hi All,
Should be putting in the new push rod tubes tomorrow and am planning to blast / refinish the tins that sit under them (or above depending on how you are looking). Normally I would powder coat them but since these sit so close to the cylinders I am wondering if they get too hot. Maybe just engine enamel? Thanks, Mike |

Not a powder coat guru, but I would think it would hold up much better than paint

Powder-coat or paint with 500° or higher paint and you'll be fine.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) Too late. Already powder-coated them this morning. For smaller stuff I find that powdercoating is actually easier and faster than painting. Will see what happens and will let everyone know if it melts! |
