Rooster 191 #17 Posted June 22, 2012 DId you mask the Brake band? I was painting parts for my 856 last night and did not paint the brake band, wondered if the paint would hurt the lining material? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COMMANDO6 20 #18 Posted June 22, 2012 Rooster, yeah, I don't think the lining should be painted. Did you mask it, Jake? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Kuhn 1,554 #19 Posted June 22, 2012 I did mask the brake pad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jake Kuhn 1,554 #25 Posted June 23, 2012 Thanks guys for the nice compliments. Kelly,I am pretty sure it will not be done in time for your show. The hood is going to take a while and the motor still needs to be rebuilt as well and I don't know when my dad's buddy will have a chance to get to it for me. Hoping I might be able to have it done in time for mentone but I am not sure if it will be done in time. Jake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
