I've seen some pretty nice looking Type IV engines here. Often they feature painting the fan housing and intake runners in addition to the sheet metal. Now I know powder coating is the preferred way to go, but I doubt this is a possibility for my project.
So what are your recommendations for prepping these surfaces for paint, whether to use primer and how to choose one, and what type of paint to use? Thanks in advance for the input! |
