So with some simple green and my scrub brush collection I have the two front fan housing pieces dirt and grease free, but it still looks like crap. Is there a method to getting these to clean up or is there a paint color that looks original and is acceptable to use?
Thanks - Chris |

I like to use the cleaner that comes with POR-15. It is called Marine Clean. Man that stuff will do some cleaning.
But at the same time the good ole sand blaster knocks everything off. If you have a compressor, get yourself a blasting gun from Harbor Freight or the like and take all the paint off of it. As far as the paint goes, I did not go ORIGINAL. I bought some rattle can engine paint from AutoZone, painted the tins, let them dry, then put them in my wife's oven at 275 for about an hour. The paint might have a temp on it that they recommend. |
