Clean it all up the best you can and then use etch primer and high temp paint.

Looking good. Wanna spray mine black. Where's everyone getting the pug badges to go on them from?
RE: 6 inlet painting - cully - 14-08-2014
use a solvent to disolve the glue remove the badge then you can re fix it with some double sided sticky
RE: 6 inlet painting - RetroPug - 14-08-2014
There's a guy that custom makes them, original, new colours, other designs etc. for 3 quid or something.
I painted one a while ago, but it turned out to be warped. :/

RE: 6 inlet painting - rikky - 26-08-2014
i've sprayed them in the past and also had them powdercoated. always been much happier with the powdercoated finish to be honest

RE: 6 inlet painting - Eeyore - 26-08-2014
Yeh if you can get it powdercoated then of course thats going to be a better longer lasting more durable finish!
RE: 6 inlet painting - rikky - 26-08-2014
only pain is when the coaters decide to leave all the bolt holes uncovered and you spend 2 hours unpicking coating from threads..
