michael5556 247 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 That gearbox looks immaculate! What paint did you use on it? Link to post Share on other sites
ashmk3 0 Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I'll clean anyone's engine if they can get it to me lol The gearbox cleaning guide:Engine degreaser and some old paint brushesKeep pasting it on and get as much off as possible Then I got some small wire brush attachments for the drill to get into the nooks and crannies. With a dry paint brush got rid of dust etc Masked off what I didn't want silverThe. Sprayed it using hammerite silver smooth spray paint. Then clear coated it using petrol resistant laquer. Then the bits that are black are also hammerite smooth but obviously the black one. Link to post Share on other sites
