once i get the block painted and the flywheels wont be much left to do but the smaller bits i can do when its cold as can hang up in the shed to dry as long it takes .

The flywheels are going to be a pain plus there spoked which makes worse .... have a feeling that i will spray them . Would be easier to paint strip them im thinking .... any recommendations as nitromors is crap these days

What are peoples opinion on undercoats ? You can get many colours but would a green be best due to that whats the engine is going to be . Also if lighter you can see where missed bits

Always use grey, never had a problem.

Did use pink once on the Amanco, Ruston PT and a Lee Howl pump once.

to be honest this undercoating never really done , just done 2 of red oxide then top coat with 3 coats but , might as well do a couple of undercoat .

I noticed too i need to get or borrow a 1.1/4 tap for the exhaust and s short length of 1.1/4" pipe ad the one on here has been welded and tweaked so it not as it should be at a 45deg angle like abes's

Use a grey under coat the paint code is on the tin that I gave Abes, that code should work with other paint companys. The transfers I have are the exact match

just a little update lads ..

have over the week painted the block with 2 coats of red oxide , and then some quite rough casting patches decided a light skim of filler and then another rub down and wet and dry it all smooth , then a recoat on the bits that needed recoating due to being rubbed through .

fairbanks headless winter project  - Page 2 0014_zps9498b853

and have just started the job of paint stripping ...

fairbanks headless winter project  - Page 2 0032_zps34f47408

is it ok to let this stuff dry and come back to it a few hours later or even next day ?

matt

Is that green the primer that was used before hand? Also what Paint stripper do you use? Wouldn't it be easier to take the flywheels of for stripping the paint as they would lie flat.

I have taken on board regarding removal of the flywheels but i have tried various ways to get off and the next stage would be to take into work and press it off but since they been on this many years and are tight they can stay on there with no fear coming off ! I will just have to work around them Mad 

i think the light green is a primer as a rather flat finish but there is a darker green gloss too which i think is the original colour , I have scrapped the red off what i have used paint stripper on and down to mostly green now , another coat to see if will shift it then a wire brush on grinder ???

im new to using paint stripper as normally get sand blasted of wire brush on grinder but this has alot of areas where wont get in .

Oh its notromoors as dad had 5 ltrs in his garage Laughing Laughing

done a little bit more today , but today had been taken up fabricating and welding bits up today for trolleys . and stoves ....

anyway another coat and left for 4 hours ish and given a scrape and a wire brush by hand .... next think wire brush on grinder will be called for .

This paint stripping is not a quick job i can tell you and especially on flywheels too ..

Ye I know what you mean it takes ages. I made the mistake of getting a part stripped back to bare metal then went to prime it two days later and there was some surface rust appearing. wire brush on drill is ok but the brush on the grinder is more harsh isn't it?

wire brush on drill for smaller places but grinder with a twist knot cup brush best , but also can use sand discs for grinder with a backing plate or a flap disc is goo and dont need a backing plate to mount them .

not yet bar the flywheels as the block is the biggest part so that was the idea to get that done , plus with all my other jobs , there only so much time .
once get the stove all done and in shed will be well away with painting in the winter months .
