Posted: Sun Jun 15, 2008 8:50 amI've been a bit torn over what to do for my engine cases in terms of cosmetics. Very disapointed in the casting flaws in this particular set of MKII cases [had my heart set on the aluminum finish] I decided to either paint or powder coat them.
I received a phone call from guy in Phoenix about getting ahead ported and we got to yacking about KZs. He mentioned Duplicolor Metalcast and sent me some pics of his bodywork that was painted with it. I was 100% impressed with his results and researched the product a bit.
They have a really cool smoke color that I thought would be perfect on my engine cases. The results were a bit mixed but I like it overall. I need to apply more coats to get the final finish I'm after but ran out of the time window for applying coats......now I have to wait a week for the paint to cure so I can lay some more wet coats on the blushed out areas.
