Engine Painting Preparation

i really dont know why you want to paint those cases. they look so clean just as they are, and you have nothing to fade or chip or flake off.....just my opinion.

Up close and personal Age they are really nasty, the camera just hides alot of the flaking that is on them.

well you really need to remove all that flaking before painting again other wise it wont be long before it all starts flaking again.
i would get them media blasted personally

I think maybe flaking was the wrong word - more like discoloration; some parts are darker than others like the paint could be flaking off but there aren't any actual flakes.

That looks really good. Paint it up. VHT Universal Aluminum is talked about a lot as a good paint. I used Duplicolor primer and engine enamel and it turned out just fine. I liked it.

Do you have long rides since engine paint job with Duplicolor?
How it looks?
