Cleaned, media blasted, primed and painted with Poline. I just coudn't put a nasty looking part in my car. I don't plan on driving it hard enough to worry about cooling issues. The color in the photo (at least on my screen) shows it kind of grey, but its black.

take a dremel and expose all the outer edges of the ribs...then clear coat them....

Then you can call it done.

You should also remove the paint where the starter is mounted,at at all bolts on the transmission used for a GROUND.,(the GROUND STRAP) otherwise the starter will give you some problems. A seperate GROUND for the Engine could be necessary.

That would look NICE.

Oh, definitely get some good ground point cleared, or your starter will hate you.

Its the Darth Vader look.

What color is that? Oil leak grey???

Paint the outer edges of the ribs RED.

No. Paint them  YELLOW  !!!

Good ... Now when you run over someone they will notice you have a nice clean tranny that's painted.

Stop and ask them for their opinion.

Hey, leave him alone.
when you get under a 914, do you smile....didnt think so.
We all see crud, oil, junk etc...
He will smile when he is under the car...that worth it for him.

If you (or I) had a car that clean, we would sell it...just to clean for me.

I've been around paints a looooong time but I confess I've missed "poline"? Is that a heat eliminating paint or epoxy? or?

Mine still looks very clean. Not as clean as Billy's but still clean

Kinda like this?

And Yes, I Did Have To Paint And Polish It!

Oh dear... Billy, and I say this with lots of love. They have medication for this sort of thing dude!

Seriously, Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But way too fussy for me.

It's spelled Polane....

"POLANE" is a trade name for a series of coatings manufactured by
Sherwin-Williams. The POLANE family of coating includes epoxies,
polyurethanes, and others...

It's a tough as heck paint that I saw used for high speed industrial products such as printers......

(((!))) (((!)))

Looks very nice.

Shiney (for awhile) highly reactive (as in oxidizing) metal!

Where no one will ever see it......

It's kinda like.....

Stripping the paint off yer car body and polishing the steel bodywork to a brilliant shine.....

Looks great for awhile......

I've got no rear valance on the car, and the conversion lowered the transaxel almost 3", so it's actua[[y quite visable. Clear-coated, it has held up well.



Sorry Billy, did'nt mean to hijack Your thread.
