there are internal paints available to counteract possible porosity.

Crikey Rich - didn't realise what you did for the day job. Those Crosswaithe & gardiner re-creations are amazing....was chatting with the Solidworks rep about those guys recently and he said they were an amazing firm. Incredible whats tucked away in the sussex / kent countryside...

I can't even find the time to wash mine.
I only mended my speedo today as I was stopped by the Oinks the other day.

UK Pete:
plenty of careful masking
All trussed up ready for spraying
All sprayed up
lots of rough casting snots
The paint was almost perfect match for the original engine finish i found in the starter cover
UK Pete:
Masking tape off, just pop it in the oven for 1.5 hr at 220c
The wife has gone out for a couple of hours when she comes back she will go ballistic, oh well shit happens
Trigger:
Pete, what paint did you use ? To save any trouble with the missis, it is best to buy an old oven from a second hand shop and put it in your garage/workshop. You could of got the dremal out and smoothed those casing's off o bit ;) ;) ;)
