Gas resistant carburator paint
 

What good gas resistant paints are available for the carburetor?

Re: Gas resistant carburator paint
 

well i know they make special fuel resistant paint for model RC planes.

gas doesnt seem to attack por15 at all (just paint each piece separately carefully and DONT get any on the threads of anything

Re: Gas resistant carburator paint
 

I'll second the RC airplane paint. I use it on carburetors and splash shields. No problem with fuel affecting it.

Use lacquer spray fuel resistant and holds up great
T-3
Hot rod black
You can also buy it right off snyders site under carbs

Another paint that's out there is KBS Coatings. It comes in a wide array of colors and is similar to POR-15, but much less expensive. I have been using it for years and love it. I tried it on my Model A carb and it has held up very well to the fuel and heat. The distributor is out of Indiana and their shipping is also very reasonable. KBS also has heat resistant paint, but I haven't used it yet.

This question pops up all the time. I buy this paint at a Model Airplane hobby shop. Dries quickly and holds up well.

Works great for me also.

I also use this for carbs, gas will not remove excellant product just ordered some from amazon a while ago.

Could try disk roster paint. Good for heat and brake fluid.

Epoxy paints are unaffected

PPG DP-90 Epoxy primer works very well for me.

Thanks for all the leads, I'll be checking them out. One other I herds about is Rustoleum epoxy spray can,anyone tried that?

Re: Gas resistant carburator paint
 

Ray, I recently bought a can of this at Hobby People on Convoy street in Kearney Mesa.

Main thing is to make SURE bare metal is CLEAN, before spraying on ANYTHING!! I've had good luck by doing the last cleaning with T.S.P.

HI,talking about DP-90 primer,I have had it on my 48 Ford coupe,with NO top coat,for almost 12 years,NO SIGN OF RUST ANYWHERE,

Re: Gas resistant carburator paint
 

Yep this is what I use. It can't get any easier. Pop the cap, shake and squirt....DONE

Re: Gas resistant carburator paint
 

I have used DP-90 on a number of carburetors and am very pleased with the results. I use an air brush and paint the inside and outside of the carburetor, then use a dry finish coat of DP 90 to get the correct finish and then install new brass plugs !!!

Re: Gas resistant carburator paint
 

Hey Bill,
I'm going to be painting my block. It was greasy and painted wrong, I cleaned it down to metal. I have just one question on T.S.P., what do you do to rinse it off, anything or just use it to do the last wipe down before you paint?

Re: Gas resistant carburator paint
 

Marshall, just rinse it with water. T.S.P removes ANY kind of greasy/waxy
residue & slightly etches for better adhesion. It's a GREAT general cleaner, commonly used by ALL kinds of painters, house/car/etc. Available anywhere paint is sold & CHEEP!

Re: Gas resistant carburator paint
 

Some coatings are "gasoline" resistant.

The ultimate test arrives later; i.e., when one later gets his preferred "carburetor cleaner" on the new carburetor coating which dissolves gasoline residue and dissolves some coatings not affected by gasoline.
