Much easier than trying to freehand with a brush etc. Last edited by Mystic ZR-1; 04-13-2020 at 04:36 PM. |

What is the estimated high temperatures of the injector housings and plenum? I have to choose between normal 500 degree powder coat and high temperature coating (the high temp is more $ but more importantly, has limited color choices). Thanks!

Maybe Marc Haibeck will chime in hear. He paints lots of LT5s.

For cleaning the alternator and compressor, I use a wheel cleaner designed for bare aluminum, such as Sonus Aluminum Restore, then wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

Thanks, I looked it up, I am trying to avoid acidic cleaners. I know that limits my choices. I did mess up, I had the good alternator sent out along with starter for rebuild. should have blasted the cases then, but too late now, I want to clean up the alternator and compressor (compressor still charged and on the car) and preserve the labels. I may use the wheel cleaner, but its very hard in the difficult places, using the super small dremel takes forever.

Here is how I do the plenum and cam cover lettering using filling method
For demonstration purposes I’m using junk cam cover I had laying around. First be sure the paint or powder coating is fully cured before proceeding. IMG_0732.JPG Model Master enamel paint and small paint brush from the local hobby store. IMG_0736.JPG Filling in the recessed lettering with paint. IMG_0738.JPG Let the lettering paint set up for several hours.
