Hi guys,
I apologize in advance if this is posted in the wrong section. I need some help determining the correct color of the engine tin. I am taking the engine from my 1974 2.0 to get powcer coated. I am not sure if it should be painted, semi-gloss, or satin black, or what? Any and all information is welcome. Also, the tin still has the white numbers and letters on the side that looks like "EA370 and 621". Does this need to be protected or not? Thanks, Bill. |

I had a stamp made for the 620 on my 49 state 1.7. I haven't applied it yet though. I'll post pics when I do, but it will be awhile. I believe the font is DIN 1451 Engschrift (Condensed).
The Wurth Flexi Trim Black Satin is the stuff to use, as it won't crack off as easy when adjusting the pieces for fit. I believe it is lacquer. I've done a few pieces and it is really nice how it lays on. |
