just a quick question whats the coolest temp i can spray primer in,and what about polar excellarator is that good to use,or not such a good idea.

Nice motor
Was this site having issues over the last few days? Anytime I tried to post it said I had to log in even though I was logged in? Never heard of polar excellerator? Not 100% sure about the temp, around 60F maybe a bit less but better safe than sorry so err on the higher side. I keep the shop heated to 64F or so normally and higher when I spray since I then turn the heater off and run the fan with the door open, once the overspray clears I turn the heater back on. Rob

thx rjuhasz i appreciate it took alot of time and hard work to build that engine,thats what im thinking of getting too is a space heater,my area is only 10x23 shouldnt take long to heat that,get it to temp then shut it off while i paint then turn it back on again.thats a great idea.

polar accellerator is made by ********** and can be used with any 2k primer or clearcoat says u can paint down to 12 degrees,and it will still properly cure.but it isnt cheap,its made for cold paint shops for the winter.i think im gonna get me some im getting impatient for 70 degree days to come here in michigan that could be july.what u guys think should i give it a try or not.

Call James at ********** for the temp and ounces per sprayable quart. Let me know how it goes please.....nice motor...close to my 413 mouse. Never argue with an idiot, he will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

im having a hard time deciding what i wanna do with my engine bay,if i paint it body color then i gotta be careful and worry about every little scratch its gonna be a night mare to keep clean with that blue,im leaning toward keeping it black like it originally came from the factory,but if i go that route i wanna do it all in flat black in the engine bay even the subframe will get painted flat black,what im thinking of doing is painting it all black epoxy primer that stuff has great adhesion and cures hard like a rock,wich would work great for my engine bay and easy to clean,should give me the protection i need.tell me what u guys think.

Depends on what you want, GM and Ford are flat black and look boring and dull to me, Mopars are body color and look infinitely nicer to my eye. Way more work to do though, you could just clean, scuff and shoot flat or satin black in there and call it a day. Or you could spend a ton of time, effort and money and make it look purdy like it should have come in the first place, in my humble opinion. There's no doubt that the flat black option is the most practical but if you do go that route I would still paint over the epoxy with a single stage paint.
I'm painting my 65 Stang engine bay body color, it isn't going to be a daily driver so I'm not overly concerned with the upkeep of keeping it clean in there. I didn't think yours was going to be a daily either with 600+ hp Rob
