I have a all original Model A (with the exception of hydraulic brakes) when i was working on the rebuilding the brake drums and backing plates... one of them had more pits and rust damage to it...so i have to put several coats of primer and powder coat on it. My question is, since the amount of paint is different for the drivers and p***enger side, will that make a difference of how well my car will drive? I want to know if the paint difference will make my car unbalance and start to shake...or since its a 4 banger, with little HP...that i dont have to worry about that? I am also curious if the paint difference on the wheels plays the same role?
green paint...not that the color makes a difference. I just know that i read a few stories here on the hamb about certain odds and ends making a car do the death wobble.
Unless you are the Princess who sleeps on a pile of matresses, you will never notice the extra P (owdercoat).
It's well known that chrome valve covers and air cleaners make your engine have more horsepower. And of course red and orange cars are faster than green and blue ones. So sure, make sure you get exactly the same amount of paint on each side, otherwise you will surely shake and shimmy at speeds over 200 MPH. Make sure they are equal weights within a tenth of a gram, and use a special high voltage adiabatic anti-static coating to make sure bugs and dirt don't adhere. (In case this was a serious question, the percentage difference in weight between a painted wheel, brake drum, etc and an unpainted one is under 1% - less than the weight tolerance difference between newly manufactured parts. So, no problem in real life, it's well within normal tolerances.)
