Questions: How durable is Dow 7 coating? Will it withstand high heat... like on an aluminum engine block? What kind of maintenance is required to keep it up? TIA, JH
dow 7 coating is used on the valve covers and intake manifolds of Top Fuelers, these parts are magnesium. I use marvel mystery oil to keep my old manifold looking good. Gibbs oil also works great.
I believe it is actually a kind of anodizing type process, that is fairly fragile. I had a customers Halibrand wheels matched to a Dow coat in a powder coat years ago, and the results were stunning.
Pictures Please, Chip.... Im contemplating a different look on my E/T 5 spokes For the Anglia Thanks, Shawn
Dude, that would be too cool!!! The person that would have pictures of that particular car would be Steve. It was a '49 Olds that he built for a friend about fifteen years ago. I was dealing in Halibrand wheels at the time and Daine hit me up for the wheels. By the way, sorry I missed you guys on Saturday, big doins' around my end of town - we might be getting a Billitproof show(maybe) MMMMMmmmm burgerworks.....
Cool... I will ask ElP about the pics.... Yeah woulda been cool to get the grand tour of your place.... We (Weston and I) put about 400 to 450 miles on the Anglia that day. We had a blast!!!! Oh, and Burgerworks... man-o-man Im coming back up there just for that place!!!! An excuse to put more miles on the Anglia
