Hi all,
seeing as we are 'staying in' instead of being out but not out out I thought I will wire brush and wet and dry the engine case for painting. is this an accepted method?
-
I wouldn't smooth the cases out, they need to have a bit of roughness for the paint to stick to. I would just clean them off with whatever liquid you choose and leave it at that.

Thanks nurse Julie.
Any VHT paint can be used for the casings????
-
So, started to do my engine cases whilst locked in.
baked at 100 degrees and let to cool twice
(Yes, I have my own house so I can cook what I want in the oven)
-
I did it once after repainting a Caliper.
I got so much earache from MBH after doing this that I wouldn’t dare try it again. 😬
Still looking for a very cheap plug in oven I can put in the garage before I tackle engine cases.
-
Looking great 👍👍👍👍

Have a chat with Currys/ Howdens/Wren delivery drivers and scrounge a single oven. Single ovens have larger cavities than double ovens. Or have a look down the tip. Or put a wanted ad on Freecycle.

I'm on furlough at the moment. My wife is at work. I have baked some lovely engine casings this week. The oven has just pinged to let me know the top crankcase is ready. ;D ;D Just open all the windows and any smell is gone by the time she gets home.
