What would be a god way to cover my /6 fan unit? I also want to paint the shroud, but wans't sure what would be best. Pretty much just have to paint/clean everything and then put it together and put it in. I rebuilt my whole CIS today and it was nice and easy and went together perfectly IPB Image

what to paint it with? I would do basecoat clearcoat myself but heck anything would work, you thinking spray can or perfect?

So why would you curse yourself? If it went together perfectly that is a curse that it wont work right. IPB Image

Scott,
Secretly I am expecting a crap load of problems with it. This way I will be right no matter what the out come. I will also be less pissed off when something goes wrong. (PMO=Positive Mental Outlook)

I guess that High temp paint would work well then. I would love to get it chrome plated, but I am not the rich guy.

i would recommend a 45 acp, should punch right through the al, and not bounce back like a 9 mm might

You know it, Scott. I am flying out on this Sun and will be up for hanging sometime after 5pm on Mon. I'll be bringing your number. I wish that I could see your car.
