Vht231d minimum spraying temperature to cure

<< < (6/6)

Honda enthusiast:
It might look a bit daunting before you start but it works well with wet and dry...if you can find somewhere to soda blasting it that's the best bet...

May be wrong, but I would expect that to be a long job and lots of pads. 240 grit wet and dry, used dry, might be better, but the creases and corners will be tricky, if you try to get all the paint off. I found the dremel, used with the flexible extension head and a range of brass brushes, worked quickly, got into nooks and crannies and didn't damage the alloy. I then went over once with some wet and dry to key it. Took me 2 to 3 hours to do and another hour to brush clear all the little brass tines off the floor. You do go through the brass brushes in that job.

Thanks. Im pondering over my engine before I take it out the frame next weekend. When you painted the assembled bottom end how did you deal with the bolts in the casings? Did you remove them in sections and re-torque after painting or mask them in some way? Thanks, mike

Mike, I replied to your PM. In short, masking tape pushed to a crisp edge with a Stanley/razor blade. Good crisp result, until you get a microscope on it!
