painting
I know there is probably a thread already started on this topic, but I just have a few questions. I am getting ready to blast and need some info on if you all use a high heat paint on the engine block? of course I will be using it on the manifold.
My other question is, what type of primer do you use, self etching?

Re: painting
on the cast parts i would use a self etching primer and then a non sanding primer sealer. on the sheetmetal also use a self etching primer and 2 coats of a filling primer to fill the minor imperfections like scratches and feather edges.

Re: painting
Be careful blasting, you will get sand where you definatly don't want it!!

do you sand the etching primer? a lot of spots will be hard to get too.

Re: painting
if you recoat within an hr or so you don't need to sand it. this is with variprime made by dupont. if you use a spray can that could be different.

Re: painting
Soda will still leave abrasive dust, just no as abrasive as sand, but still damage in the long run if it gets into seals, etc.

Re: painting
Soda blasting is good on softer metals. or on sheet metal as it is not as aggressive, but the dust is still abrasive. If working on thin sheet metal, sometimes sand blasting will sometimes heat it and cause warping. Many people claim soda will not cause the same problems. I have never done any soda blasting, just read reports and reviews from those who have.

Re: painting
I cover and seal up everything. I will let you know how it goes, but not going to be doing anything until it warms up a bit..

I have been waiting 4 weeks for that warm up to blast sheet metal. No luck yet, everytime we get to at least mid 20's it comes with snow. Not real good for newly blasted metal. Hopefully soon it will happen.

covering and sealing
You can cover and seal all day but when you blast it, I guarantee some dust or sand will get in the seals or bearings.
