Engine looks great! What grit did you use for prep? Any reason you used different primers and paints? Below you mentioned you used VHT and the Dupli Color. Is one better than the other?
The only reason I used different paints was I already had the duplicolor. Between the 2 I prefer the VHT. It seems like a better product but it lays down much thinner than the duplicolor. I just tried to make sure to use the matching primer for each. I didn't sandblast just used 250 grit sandpaper and made sure all surfaces were scuffed up well. Then degreased and used break cleaner for final prep. These high temp paints must be cured so I did that in the oven following the instructions on the bottle.
For the case I used VHT engine enamel primer and base coat. Love this paint but you have to bake it for it to fully cure. But once cured it is very durable and solvent resistant.
Nice work and attention to detail.
Thanks!
Mine is looking ratty. I'm already jealous as to how this is going to turn out...😅
