    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

This thread has triggered my thinking since I haven?t been able to find a suitable paint to use on engine covers ? the regular automotive urethane I used is starting to chip off (it?s not high heat paint anyway). I think powder coat would be the perfect material to use since it can handle high temperatures and is chemical resistant.

Has anyone tried the Eastwood Diamond Clear on engine covers?
It is supposed to be formulated for use on bare or polished metals and be fuel and heat resistant up to 300*F.
 
Huh?

Huh?

Can someone clarify something for me. I read here that parts are dipped in phosphate solution to help the paint stick. Isn't powdercoating an electrostatic process? In other words, the paint sticks by virtue of the electricity that you are applying and there fore, paint adherence isn't such a big issue.

As I understand it, electrostatic is for the initial stick, and the subsequent baking causes it to flow a bit and permanently adhere. So you'd want to properly prepare the surface, as with paint.
