Cheers Johnny, I saw it after basting all the bits and kinda liked the blue ‘hue’ it had. Clear corrector to fix it and ta da! It’s a huge difference to the 550 which I did in a silver but this finish kinda suited what she, (who shall remain nameless) wanted. Still live it though.

All that fuss, and then I found out the coating can be just rubbed off with a stainless steel pan scourer - one of my favourite tools.
It did occur to me for a moment that someone had sold me a F1 or K series head just painted black ( I haven't had time to check the valve sizes yet), so I tried the pan scourer on my other F2 engine with exactly the same results

Good luck getting it off between the fins.

Got rid of a lot of paint from both my F1 and F2 engines with my Dremel, wet and dry paper of various grades, Brillo pads and Solvo.
To get into the fins I used lolly sticks and stirrers from McDonalds with the aforementioned wet and dry wrapped around them.
Lots of sore fingers and broken nails and it was not fast but I was retired.


Cheers

Dennis

K2-K6:
For identification purposes, doesn't the F2 head have notably extended top fin arrangement on front fins of head ?

That's in comparison to previous iteration.
