How do you remove Gylptal?

I have a motor that was painted on the outside with Glyptal. Wasn't my decision. Does anyone know how to remove it or can I scuff it up and paint it?

 

Motor is all assembled and ready to roll. Misscomunication with the engine builder 20 years ago!

 

Dave Lacquer thinner on a rag should take it off or brake kleen. If it is that old you can probably scuff and paint. I have had some bleed through problems on freshly gylptaled items. Hope that helps a little

Thanks for the suggestion I will give it a try. Still open for suggestions.

Ive become a fan of easy off oven cleaner. nasty shit and takes off grease like no other.

 

Nother word ? Gylptal what the heck? Is this.

 

Kewl GE paint that is super tough & was used to fill porosity inside engines so oil gets back to the pan where it is suppose to be.

I retired from GE (Power Gen.) and we used it on some of the inside of oil bath bearing housings ... very slippery stuff when cured.

 

I just epoxy primed mine and painted it.

It was a never run 55 Hudson "crate" motor that looked like this when I started.




After freshening the bores and new valves it came out of the wash cabinet at the local machine shop looking like this:




I figured if that didn't touch it I was good. Epoxy primed and bc/cc and now it looks like this.

 

This is from the Glyptal web site and they list it as a primer, so sounds like
you should be able to scuff and paint over it.




1201 GLYPTAL® Fied Enamel does more jobs—and does them better—than any other red enamel available on the market today.

1201 makes no compromise withquality. it is designed to give outstanding performance andsatisfaction . . . always.

That's the secret of 1201's success.And that's why the average user has been specifying it and buying it for over 30 years.

The outstanding all-purpose paint. Although 1201 was orginally developed as an insulating paint for electrical applications such as the treatment of coils and armatures, its outstanding resistance to corrosion, moisture, oil,acid, heat, dust and salt spray has made it popular throughout industry as a Primer. Sealer, Adhesive and Protective Finish.

There are literally hundreds of uses for 1201. Some of the more typical industry uses include:

Primer for structural iron and steel
General plant maintenance Sealer for concrete floors
Primer and finish tor motor. generator, and transformer housings
Anti-moisture coating on thermostat, water cooler, and truck control parts
Sealer lor pipe and stud threads and vacuum systems
Anti-corrosion protection for winches and other out- door apparatus
Electrical insulation for coils and armatures Adhesive for gaskets
Coating tor interior of hydraulic tanks, and bearing cases

 

I would just paint over it.

 

It runs off when sprayed with Berryman B-12.

 

Berryman B-12 is sold at our local Wal-Mart & it cut threw pretty much
any painted surface. I Use it a lot. Don't get it in a cut on your skin.

 

Smoke and mirrors!

 

That Hudson motor is beautiful.
