Roger Chatfield 0 Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Evening all, I'm planning on painting my inlet manifold, looking at a black satin finish. Can anyone recommend a suitable paint and offer any tips. Many thanks Rog. Edited September 6, 2014 by Roger Chatfield Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilfuzzer 1 Posted September 6, 2014 Pj1 mate its used on motorbikes etc. Used it on mine. Need some etch primer too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted September 6, 2014 Hammerite satin black from a spray tin Rog. It doesn't need to be high temp as it doesn't get that hot. I used it on my old valver to good effect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Morning Hasan - hammerite usually goes direct to bare metal, but in my experience pretty much sticks to anything, if it doesn't react I think you'll be fine ;) Nib off and rough bits in the primer with very fine wet paper (1000+) for a super smooth finish Edited May 27, 2018 by Geeba Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted May 27, 2018 Damn that looks great! Now you've got me thinking about different finishes.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geeba 0 Posted May 27, 2018 Damn that looks great! Now you've got me thinking about different finishes.. Yeah I just can't wait to get it going.. house move has put the Corrado on the back burner and any plans of bombing round in it this summer are well and truly out the window :( The Shrick is VHT directly to cleaned and scotchbrite'd castings and the cam cover is Eastwood alumi-blast paint which is almost identical to the factory colour, again to a thoroughly cleaned and scotch'd item.

I don't mind the work as I come from a building background.. there doesn't seem to be anywhere they're not building here at the moment, we're heading for town status... I'm hoping to flip this one and maybe head to Thame. AVDC are doing what they did to Aylesbury many years ago to every small town and village they can now.

Sounds a nice project.... the one I'm on about belongs to the lady that walks round the village in her crocs. Edited May 29, 2018 by delfinis38 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
