Where did you find the high temp paint?

Halfords? I got a spray can of the stuff for the exhausts on the missus' RS250...

Andy,

Good luck with the project. As I'm sure you can see, your amongst fellow addicts here. Why don't you keep a spread sheet on the costs. You'll be amazed how it all mounts up :frog:

Probably best if I dont keep a record. It doesnt seem so bad when you buy lots of things on separate occaisions, you can kid yourself
its costing less than it really is!

Or kid the wife!!

;)

mmm, DO NOT keep a spreadsheet - you'll only worry yourself, BUT DO keep all of the bills tucked away so you can frighten yourself when it's all done :o

Aluminium is a b#gger to clean once oxidization starts, I stripped my casing and bead blasted it, coat of spray paint and trimmed the gasket flanges with a Stanley blade while the paint was still soft.

When the missus was out shopping for the day I baked at 50c for an hour. :burn:

Did you previously remove the gaskets and glass window ???

Hi Phil, I never took the glass inspection window out the casing, i stripped out the Alt, etc. In the oven they never went very hot.. lol………..its freezing up here and I had to cure the paint!

""""its freezing up here and I had to cure the paint! """"

---> OK !!!
