This is the high temp heat paint that Cliff has used...it gives a very good finish as you have commented on and can see in the pics...I am very satisfied with the results... A side note, I did not even do a "heavy" color coat as I have done in the past. IMO it was not needed to get the achieved results today...

Re: TB removal and then some!!!
Back home from the shore, although not great weather, still good to get away....
Also would like to wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day, and to be thankful for everyone in the Armed Services, past, present and future. For without Them, our Freedom would be non-existent...  Time to get back to work, just finished painting the plenum in the open paint booth....  Took awhile for prep, used Clorox wipes (they are without bleach) and do a great job of removing grease on aluminum as mentioned before. After a number of wipe downs, I then used the Mineral Spirits for a few more additional wipe downs to make sure the surface was as clean as could be....  before....  one of my famous tape jobs....lol

Re: TB removal and then some!!!
first coat...
 followed the same technique used on the coolant pipes, light even sprays with drying time in between, and no heavy color coat!!!  the finished product...I think it came out decent...  I kind of like the lettering painted silver, I may just leave it this way....

 Decided to replace a PCV hose while I am in there...although the hoses are very hard, IMO it is not necessary to change them out just to change them...unless there is vivid deterioration or a split in the hose itself. Again, this is JMO, after taking off the RS hose and cutting it open, it is still very pliable on the inside and showed no signs of age. And of course with the hose off of the vehicle, the outside does not feel as hard as when on the vehicle. And the advice given to me before was to leave them alone, but I was curious to see if any type of debris was inside of the hose, there wasn't any... I only replaced the RS and am leaving the LS in place. For those doing a plenum pull for the first time, this is just my findings. Others may have different opinions. And this was again on my vehicle, yours may vary... "original" hose from what I could tell...  a little crud going on in the area...  cleaned and ready for install...  new hose installed....a few more things and I'll be ready to install the plenum...

Was even tempted to take the car out of service for a longer period of time to do a really thorough cleaning, but more anxious to get it back together soon, miss driving the Z. Besides the 74 is also keeping me busy... So just cleaning up as best as I can... Still thinking about what to do with the plenum numbers and letters, other than painting them black. Right now staying silver is my choice.
