painting timingbelt cover

[Fred Munro]

Hi Andrew;

I can tell you what I did to the t-belt cover on my 200q to get a durable
repaint.

sandblast
treat with Dupont Metalprep
2 coats Corlar epoxy primer
2 coats Dupont polyurethane primer
3 coats gloss black Imron

It came out nice and shiny and tough as nails. Imron is nice paint to work
with.
