rub it back with 240 wet & dry to give a key for the paint to bond to. Make sure its spotless as any imperfections will show in the finished item.
Several coats of primer when its nice and warm outside (not windy and dont be tempted to give it loads) better off with lots of thinish coats than one or two heavies making it run. If it does run, flat them out when dry with 400 W&Dry.

When its totally dry and nice and smooth, give it three or fourcoats of colour...sorted

 

thanks mate i will go buy it all tommorow

 

What colour primar? shall i get

 

grey

 

thankssssss

 

wondering iff anyone has used hammerite and if its any good if so?

 

i dont think the finish is beter than spryinnng

 

yerp. normall spraying will just peel off and when you kickstart, bang, ripped half of it off.

My white hammerite lasted well

 

Yea primer is not the best idea for engine cases as they tend to get hot. Hammerite is a very durable, hard wearing paint and if you get the 'SMOOTH' one it does give a nice finish. but dont spill petrol on it, it will just melt. lloooooooooll. the best option is to give it a lightish sand with 400-600 on the original surface, then get 'very hii temp paint' use thet str8 on and get VHT laquer.
this will give you a beautiful finish. i have now settled for this option on my engine case and water cooler case as it is proven the siplest and most durable. i

 

thats truu. dut to it being ally and gettin hot. i polished my old bike engine case, i do not recommend doin it. lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnng. i was there for tyyym. lol

 

Not thought of getting it powdercoated?

Once you have sprayed it all up and finished can ya let me know how much it cost you in materials n paint, I'm interested, cheers :mod:

 

Y..?? Whats the problem wiv it?

 

you can get powder coating done proffesionaly at quite a cheap cost compared to spraying

 

aiiite. theres no need 4 attitude m8. i aint been on the forum long and just tryin shit out.....!!!!!!
