Has anyone ever painted the case, primer + Aluminum + clear coat and if so did hold up doing it this way and also I was wondering does it make the motor run hotter. (trapping heat)
I figured I have this completely torn down so now is the time to make it shine like new again.
 

Blast it. Tried the paint and doesn't look very good after a couple of years. Maybe powdercoating it would hold up not sure.
 
okay bead blast it is, should i put a clear coat after? Also the blaster has black beauty sand in it now will that work or should i just get my lazy *** to the store and get a bag of glass bead?
Thanks guys for all your input.

I wouldnt use the black beauty on aluminum it's quite abrasive. I tried the clear coat before and the problem with it is it yellows over time.
Thanks Staggs will grab a bag of glass bead and no clear coat.
