Fresh engine paint
« on: May 18, 2012, 08:15:17 AM »
Just painted my engine last night.  I was pretty OCD about following application directions.  I polished the fin tips prior to painting and wiped off with an acetone dampened rag after each paint application.  Worked very well and looks awesome.

Will do.  Expect them throughout the next two weeks.  Everything else is going in for paint & powder beginning of next week followed by reassembly ASAP.
