Except for the belt covers which dont have any paint on them , so I will need to mask those. I,m in no hurry for the paint right now being as the temperature in my garage has now dipped below zero, I,m thinking of rigging up some kind of Heath robinson hot box to paint the engine in, like maybe a big cardboard box that covers the engine and big enough to slip a fan heater inside. Just got to fiddle about switching the heater off while the paint is applied , then get the fan heater back on quickly afterwards.[IMG][IMG][URL=http://s417.photobucket.com/user/dookbob/media/imagejpg1-5.jpg.html][IMG][IMG]  [/IMG] |
Its just reminded me its exactly 7 years to the weekend that I started my single sider project and the red frame. Regarding the engine painting I did the same using a largish cardboard box to spray in with a radiator heater close at hand. Worked ok tbh. Mine was done hammerite smooth black.
