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. http://www.krylon.com/press/press-releases...h-360/index.jsp I've always liked Krylon as it holds up. Also like Rustoleum, but that stuff is, IMHO, very hard to paint, especially on wheels. |

to be honest, I don't think the louvers would do any good pointed forward. Used pointed rearward, a louver utilizes the fact there is a low pressure area surrounding them to exhaust heat. However, flip them around and attempt to use them to draw air in requires using the high pressure front to push it in, so only the front louver would be effective - the ones behind it would be essentially blocked by the first one.
So, now that I really visualize what you are going for, I would say you really just need a single, decent sized scoop to grab air. Paul (URY914) has a big scoop reminiscent of the old Indy stuff and I dunno that you really need to go that far (tho' it definitely adds character to the look of the car), but I would think seats alone would obscure the louvers altogether, so you need to scoop high enough to get good air. Do you want to add pressure to that area of the car tho'??? I have to wonder if scooping from the sides somehow to put cool air in, then exhaust out the rear deck with some louvers maybe would help keep air moving thru there, but also not create a high pressure area pushing under the rear of the car. I think you mostly AX 222 so probably not a big deal in any sort of event given the typical max speeds and short time duration of AXing to worry about pressure there and just need to focus on tunneling fresh air to the intake... |
