MikesRJ 552 #17 Posted June 20, 2010 Kevin, one question. It appears that you painted the cylinder heat fins black and the rest of the engine red. Is there a reason behind this, or was that purely an aesthetic choice? :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi mike, i did not trust the same paint on the fins because of the amount of heat so i used VHT black on them. but i will be now going to look into it at the paint supplier to see if i can get the VHT mixed in the same colour red.

Hi wedgeheaded, It was a 1968 triumph 2000 Mk1, which i no longer have, sold it about four weeks ago to make room for the wheelhorses. only got two at the moment but plans for some more :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if you can get Dupli-Color paint locally in the UK, but they make a series of paint called "High Heat", which is a good close match to Valspar Restoration Series IH Red. See this link: http://www.duplicolor.com/products/engine.html Dupli-Color DH 1608 High Heat Red is the paint I used on my RJ engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
