Thanks, I got an excellent finish with your technique. Cool thing is you can spot treat if you missed an area or if it's not built up enough. It's hard to mess this up.
This was totally awesome 💯. Thanks for the concise tutorial. I may have the confidence to try this on my Walker-Turner Driver Line ac motor restoration end bells tonight 🔥
I use a zinc chromate yellow or green primer on aluminum. I’ve had some paint adhesion fails without primer. Electrostatic painting in the factory overcomes the adhesion issue. However, at home painting in my opinion needs primer on any bare metal, even sprays that claim you don’t need primer. Also I’d use a mild lye caustic soda bath on aluminum before any painting in addition to degreaser. And of course wash off any prep solution. Wear nitrile gloves and wear safety glasses.
If use water a weak Draino solution for cleaning aluminum with distilled water. They sell it in the grocery store (about a dollar for one gallon). About 1/2 teaspoon of Draino in a 1/2 gallon is enough. I'd let the lye solution work for about a minute. Use distilled water to wash off any residue. Use nitrile or kitchen latex gloves and safety glasses.
Hi ya .. does that tank work on the Manuel R56 coopers, I have seen some that won’t work due to the bottom coolant line is too far forward and fowls on the gearbox linkages .. Awesome videos , following you. Been heaps of help . Thanks again
Myki Jay thanks I here if your not careful with the lower pipe it fowls however apparently with careful placement of the lower pipe it’s fine. Will do a fitting video
It is better to wear gloves- skin has a lot of oils that cause fingerprints. I used the wrinkle black in 1978, after a friend hit the plastic gill-shaped front grill for my 1972 Plymouth Barracuda to help hide the crack after I glued it back together. I have seen people use an outdoor gas grill to cure paint. The wife will probably be upset if you use her oven.
“Wipe it down with grease remover to get rid of any oils or grease” as he grabs it with bare hands. 90% of the time it’s fine but put a set of gloves on to save the headache the other 10%
I have to say I bought this product for my harley engine on the strength of your video. And now I have to strip the while lot off and start again. Probably something I did bit I found it total rubbish.
@A. Melbs Probably something in the preparation department. I've used it on 2 HD engines. One with great success after a thorough cleaning and I got cocky a second time and blasted it on with poor results.
