My Front and Rear Diff, also the gearbox.

I have all of them off the car and I have bought some Upol 8 Acid etch primer but what type of paint and what type of Silver is nearest to original finish that will cope with the heat??

thanks!!

 

halfords do a high temp paint in silver it should do the job

 

i,ve never used it but have heard/seen in the resto room on here , makes them look new again with heat resistance qualities

Thats the product I've chosen to go with .

My only concern is, am I able to laquer it afterwards ??

Not got a reply back from them....

 

maybe stick a thread in GD mate , i,m sure you,ll here lots of good opinions on the laquer situ

Hi Mike

I always use Aluma Blast on freshly blasted cast aluminium as its the closest match i could get to make it look original.

I then finish off with Eastwood diamond Satin Clear lacquer.

Before painting i usually outgas the aluminium in the oven for 10 mins but this is not necessary, Its just for my piece of mind

A few customers parts below fully restored.



















Hope this helps and gives yo an idea of the finish it produces.

Cheers
