[FWDLK] KEEPING CARBURETORS LOOKING LIKE NEW???

[Gary Nelson <gnelson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ron

 

Your statement is contradictory. A car driven more will show signs of deterioration of surfaces sooner than a car that is rarely driven. Rain, road salts, gas, oil, etc, take a toll on finishes. That said, you can clear coat metal parts. You want to use flat matt. You do not want a gloss on the parts.

The bases of WCFB's are cast iron. John used gloss black, that is ok, but I prefer Spray Gray by Eastwood or Cast Coat by Napa. You can see in the photos I attached the cast iron look you get. I bake all my coatings for 20 min. at 200 deg.

 

Hope that helps,

     Can anybody tell me how to keep the carburetors looking like new, at car show I see cars with dual carbs that look likes new and the cars are not really driven that much. My dual carbs even after being rebuilt turn a dull milky gray with small white spots. Of course I am not driving them much they are just sitting inside until show time.

     I just wonder if there is a clear spray that can be used on them that is heat proof and will last?

 

          Any suggestions are welcome!!!!!

 

             Thank You in Advance,
