you wont need the isolator on the head. you could fit one at the carb end. its to help with heat soak, if the carb is away from the head it wont be an issue

does it have a big cam in it? -
2k hardens by a chemical reaction It will happen faster with increased temperature. But is not required, it just speeds it up. Too cold and the solvents won't evaporate from the paint fast enough and give a poor finish Too hot and you can harden the outer layer and trap solvent inside Takes about a month for a paint job to be truly hardened

some "pros" used to (and some still do) just spray the whole lot and sand to shape. i guess they figure its easier than hammering the few trouble spots, i.e ive mixed this paint already may as well use it/

You might cut that tube and solder a dowel inside to bring the strength back?

Tortron's 3.8 Mayte fair dinkum Mitsi Ute
tortron replied to Threeonthetree's topic in Project Discussion
honestly i have already replaced at least 50% of this cab. theres no more original mitsi rust left (im sure theres some in the lower rad support but meh thats easy). if i had sandblasted/dipped this cab when i first got it id be all over a different one, but i think im on top of it now -

would this for example apply to a nurse's private car needed to get to work?

in my experience paint stripper removes the paint in layers, expecially the weaker stuff. my ute tray took 6 applications where it had been resprayed several times. very frustrating for me, potentially great for you

could try one of those sticker remover wheels that go on a drill. basically a claybar?
