Thanks, yeah I wanna clear coat it
I might have some you can no longer buy paint remover. I followed it up with a bath, brushes, liquor thinner and then a maroon scrub pad & probably a lighter scrub pad to follow. Anything more than that is up to the painter.
Word is the air cleaners were 60% gloss? I don't know what that means, but I've read from there polish to your heart's content.
OT: I've read how the original transmission dip stick tubes leak. They take an O-ring, but apparently leak anyhow. I have a feeling it's because some don't sit quite right, as I cinched mine up it insisted on a small gap. Anyway, I put a shim in the mix so this seats like it's supposed to. Now trying to find a longer Gr 5 flange bolt, in black
They all appear to be Gr 8, apparently even manufacturers believe Gr 8 is the way to go. IMO it's a misconception, because there's good reason factories used Gr 5 on these long blocks.
