did you guys prime the surface first with primer?
|
No. Ive never even seen high-temp engine primer.
|
I just got done porting my motor and I painted the plates red. I used high temp paint and HIGH TEMP PRIMER. Yessss thats right , they do make it.
I didn't paint my housings though. I just polished them instead https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png |
hmm i tried using the spray paint **** tonight, see how 1 coat turns out tommorrow. Isamu did u use spray paint? it doesn/t work that well, i want something thicker to prevent running. guess i will check some more places for other stuff.

i considered painting my irons but it was too cold in the garage to get any masking tape to stick well so I skipped the paint... didnt find it too important.
|
get a space heater like me, it works...
|
eh, I have a kerosene turbine heater... It wasnt cold enough to make it uncomfortable for me so I wasnt using it. They were just still cold as hell from the night temps, and it made me put more thought into why exactly I wanted to paint them anyways.... Looking at my old irons they didnt have any corrosion on them or anything so I didnt see any need to paint them to keep from rusting... I couldnt think of any significant performance difference, I guess if the paint has ceramic in it, there may be a small insulating effect.. at that point it seemed no different than sticking vinyl stickers on my hood... so no paint it is.
