more finish questions, this time engine related ,I know the tins have to be semi gloss black and they are already powder coated
now to the magnesium parts, what is the original finish of the top cover and bottom cover, I have seen both black and natural metal uncoated look finish, what the original one and if it is the natural one how do you reserve the look ( previously blasted one got dark grey in 2 weeks) the other parts is the fan housing and fan,, black / natural and if natural how to preserve thanks guy I do not know how I would do that without you(s) freezing14 |

Kind of garish, IMHO. I kept them in case I ever want to go back to original, but I have a set of turbo top and bottom covers on the car now. The waffles were machined down to clear the suspension console when they need to be removed for a valve adjustment. By the way, I was told not to sand/bead blast the interior side of these pieces. The blast media get caught in the magnesium and eventually release into the engine oil. Not good for the bearings and other things - in other words engine failure could result. |
