Title: Fresh from the machine shop. Now what do I use to paint on them? Post by: LonesomeTriZ on August 03, 2005, 05:32:32 PM I just got this Tri-Z jug, YTM jug and YTM head back from the machine shop. I want them shiny black, but they are made out of aluminum and I know you can not use regular engine paint on aluminum. Give me some ides you all. I really want to get this back on the trikes as soon as possible.

Title: Re: Fresh from the machine shop. Now what do I use to paint on them? Post by: 310R_Dude on August 04, 2005, 09:43:30 PM If I may say so... powdercoating might be too thick
and cause over heating problems. Your best bet is an etching primer(usually applied thin) followed by some type of high heat gloss black(thin as well). Just put enough paint on until it is covered. Just my two cents, your mileage will very. Goodluck. Hope it turns out for you. Dano out Title: Re: Fresh from the machine shop. Now what do I use to paint on them?
