Re: engine re-paint, silver - red98 - 13-05-15
Bit more progress this evening.removed front engine mount, oil cooler and cam cover.......next job is to mask everything and start prepping the surface...
Re: engine re-paint, silver - red98 - 14-05-15
Sanded the cam cover today, just needs a rub over with some panel wipe and then all 4 covers will be ready for paint, just about to order new gaskets, was going to start masking tonight but its been a long day at work today and tomorrows going to be worse :\......roll on the weekend
Re: engine re-paint, silver - red98 - 14-05-15

When I removed my timing cover to fit an ignition advancer I just used a small amount of gasket paste when I refitted it.
Re: engine re-paint, silver - unfazed - 15-05-15
Wonder how it would look with black covers and a silver engine? :eek
Re: engine re-paint, silver - red98 - 15-05-15
Funny you should say that UNFAZED...the round plug in the timing cover is rubber/plastic and I dont really want to paint it, its just starting to flake on the edges, hardly noticeable but I know its there :rolleyes so was thinking of stripping the silver off and leaving it black.........might work...
instant gasket it is then for the timing cover :thumbup
no work on the fazer today, started work at 7 this morning and only just got in.....time to chill

not black but dark enough to get the idea
Re: engine re-paint, silver - red98 - 18-05-15
Mmmmmm, not bad, I have a black frame which I think will help...
busy with other things at the weekend so no fazer fiddling, did have a hour in the garage tonight though and made a start on the masking.
Re: engine re-paint, silver - red98 - 20-05-15
Bought a few bits and pieces on the way home tonight, a bit more masking and blasted , cleaned and painted the front engine mount to give me a bit of motivation to get the job done

Re: engine re-paint, silver - Tmation - 22-05-15
It would have been quicker and easier to have pulled the engine out than do all that masking up :eek
Re: engine re-paint, silver - red98 - 22-05-15
