I am about to paint my engine tins with High Temp Engine paint (usually for headers) from a rattle can and am curious what everyone uses to clean right before painting.
I have used charcoal lighter fluid then wipe with water and let dry. I have also used TSP or brake cleaning fluid. The tins are clean right down to the factory plating and have some light rust starting. What does everyone suggest? I have almost any paint thinner: acetone, denatured alcohol, mineral spirits, etc. I have even witnessed blasting with CO2 snow ;-) Oh, and since it is high temp, I was planning on NO PRIMER. Is that correct? Stu |
