Carb guys... look inside Reply #31 – August 22, 2007, 11:11:14 PM In a Holley building/tuning book I have, it said to use a good krylon paint backed up with LOTS of clear. Everything that will have contact with gas has been masked off. Quote Selected

Carb guys... look inside Reply #35 – August 23, 2007, 08:57:24 PM hes being serious and sarcastic and im on his side. You just wont be happy with the outcome. I guess your right in a way, if you dont like the colors, it comes off easy enough till you figure out what color you do want to maker perm.One can of good stuff beats the price of a can of color then another of clear.

Carb guys... look inside Reply #36 – August 25, 2007, 12:55:56 AM Auto paint will work though, if you use a self-etching primer. Carb parts are zinc, except the aluminum baseblate. Make sure to plug any bleed holes carefully with toothpics before spraying. I've had best luck with a base-coat/clearcoat system.Cured auto paint isn't bothered by most fuel. Quote Selected
Carb guys... look inside Reply #37 – August 25, 2007, 01:13:45 AM Thats what I'm going for. I've had a few other things in life so this has been put off, but I'm hoping to have it together soon. Again, for anyone that didn't see, this is NOT the carb that is on the car. This is a junk carb I threw together that I wana try. If the paint turns out good I have another working carb I wana try.

As for the booster, I don't think it's worth it as I have 2 carbs that I will actually use on the car. The 600 vac secondary thats on it now and then the 650 DP that will go on later. Just testing how it would look Quote Selected

Carb guys... look inside Reply #43 – September 08, 2007, 04:24:15 PM I'm not going to lie... it looks like ass. The "silver" color was susposed to be satin allumnium. The black is flat and I wanted it semi-gloss. But for the scheme it's not that bad. The masking of the surfaces worked great and I just did a coat of primer, 2 coats of paint, and no clear and it's an ok job. I can do better. Not bad for a test I think Quote Selected
