[QUOTE="Shaugh, post: 439842, member: 19781"] Johnny, I decided to try this motor on a budget. Instead of mixing up expensive 2 part urethane for the base coats I used spray can Rustoleum enamels... Canvas white which is very cream colored and burnished brass metallic. Sprayed those on and let them dry for several days till I was sure they were fully cured, steel wooled, then when back and clear coated with a 2 part urethane clear... it seems to have worked very well. Finish is diamond hard now and seems very durable. I wanted to keep the controls matched to the motor .... the controls I got were a mess with several coats of sky blue and black paint over it. Got it stripped down and painted.... Not sure I'm happy with it... might get rid of the gold and just stay all canvas white ? [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_1796.JPG"]93907._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
