redneck painting

[equalizer442]

i found something neat on accident today, i accidetly sprayed my t type with clear engine enamal and it braught out the color! the green paint was faded pretty bad but that engine enamal bruaght out the rich green that it used to be. it looked so good that i sprayed the whole car with engine clear coat.

does any one know if this stuff can be used on sand blasted down pipes and new turbo houseings? its rated at 500 but im not sure how hot the turbos get.

I get exhaust temps of 1650* so that 500* is just a tad shy.

hmmm, wonder if they made any high temp clear coat, it would be a good way to get the exhaust houseing to stop from rusting. i hate haveing to wirebrush it once a week.

when i put on the new oil line i noticed that it touched the compressor houseing, is it ok that i just disconnected it and slid a 2 inch long peace of high temp fuel line insulation over it or should i bend the line slightly?
