Great rattle can paint, Krylon Options

[Randal]

If you're going to get a rattle can for any paint work, try the new Krylon one with the blue tip. I asked the TS guys at Krylon and they said all cans should now have this tip - as they've been manufacturing nothing else since January.

Anyway, IT PAINTS GREAT! Much bigger pattern, so you don't have to keep going over and over again and setting yourself up for runs.

You can also adjust this tip to change your pattern. Haven't tried that yet, but will shortly.

I've always liked Krylon as it holds up. Also like Rustoleum, but that stuff is, IMHO, very hard to paint, especially on wheels.

oh yeah, help suck air out of the front trunk a lot. having a full tube car the seams around the front bulkhead aren't perfect so I would get a fair amount of heat pushed into the car. Those louvers exhaust a LOT of air - I kick the fan on and you can see the little misc fibers hanging off the edges blowing straight back out of them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It also gives the air coming in the front opening somewhere to go other than under the car.

I threaten to build a nice tunnel front and rear of the rad but the car tends to run cool enough H2O temp that I haven't cared.

So I have seen 222 a few times but don't recall it's roof config - is it Ginthered and no rear window?

I ask because you can also see my screened in rear trunk for the twin coolers. I was trying to pull air from the decklid into the coolers - I was pretty certain it wouldn't work but just had to try it. Over the winter when I put the new trans in I flipped the coolers and exhaust out the hood and it made a HUGE difference - first time out at the track I was probably 40deg cooler on oil temps. There is just too low pressure there with the stock A-pillar/roof config to try and draw air there.

"222" has a Gunther screen, no windshield and no back window. If you have a WS, a top and a back window you've also got a low pressure area right behind the back window. Also easy to test as you can stick rows of yarn across the deck lid and then video what happens at speed. Now how can those things be going forward?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
