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 |

Well I just happen to be dropping off some 911 heat exchangers at the a the sandblasters this afternoon and having these parts in my trunk as well I let him go at them as well. They were grease and grime free before and now they are one continuous silver color. As much as I love the look and the neatness of the painted versions I think I am going to spread some Wurth "Cosmoline" on them and see how that does. Should be similar to original and stop it from changing back to crap. It is either this or just some light steel wool and a high temp satin clear coat.
Anyone see any issue with either of these approaches? |
