suby torque rules  Group: Members Posts: 1,525 Joined: 20-July 03 From: maryland, the land of 25 year Member No.: 924  |
pulled the suby motor today and i will be wire wheeling the whole engine bay to mostly bare metal. i have a 5 gallon kit ( i can do smaller batches ) of a 2 part epoxy paint/primer that uses powdered zinc as a filler ( 70 % by volumn ), i dont need to mix that much zinc in it, as the directions say. this paint system costs whole sale 400 bucks a 5 gallon kit, and is speced for the primer coat on water towers here in maryland, it is rolled on due to thickness ( zinc filler ).
i wonder how well it would work in the engine bay, the company who left it behind ( opps (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) ) said the stuff is basicly solvent resistant. the label after all of the legal stuff, says cleanup before cure is paint thinner or acetone. no clean up after cure. i saw these guy blasting it with coal ash, trying to remove it where they spilled it and it did not work very well. basicly i figure its epoxy based with a high zinc %, so it should be good in an engine bay. also i dont have any por 15 around, and it says top coat can be any thing, but they used vynle on the water tower. i will use rattle can, not sure of color yet, car is black but i dont want a black hole again.any suggestion for engine bay color. basicly looking for thoughts on using this paint, and for color ideas tia |
