Thought this was a Halloween thing didn't you ? As the ***le suggest's, I'm in need of a paint brand and color name so I can paint a 3rd member that red oxide color as I've so often seen and like. Or is it just that, Red Oxide primer ? Thanks
Ace Hardware has a rattle can red oxide primer that I think has a good approximation to the older red oxide for GM parts. It has more red than most.
Would it be a good idea to use that paint for inside engines? So all the oil drips off of it. Its that orange color.
I can make you a red oxide. I can make as a direct to metal primer/sealer, DTM enamel, urethane, polyurethane etc. What kind of gloss? Matte, satin, full?
********************************************************************** I believe what you're thinking of is called Glyptol. I've seen it used on the inside of larger electric motors, and it should do ok inside an engine, but for a street engine, I wouldn't think it's really needed. For a high-end race motor, maybe, as one would want the oil to return to the pan as quickly as possible to keep the engine lubricated. Roger
That product is very expensive. I was turned onto a product by Groucho today as an alternative to Glyptol. And as a bonus, Groucho is giving me a can for free, Thanks Groucho. More people should really get to know this man. He is not as some would believe. Here's the product guy's https://scontent-sjc2-1.**.fbcdn.ne...=e6bf4bea7d5a3150e8ea277c981f6d82&oe=5668661F
I did a let down of 2 different red oxides, the oranger one is a true red oxide pigment. The brown is industrial. The gray is primer. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the info. I asked if it's just primer because that's all it is, primer. I prefer to have a product that seals the raw iron.
The darker brown will be a common primer color, the redder is a pigment that you would have to get mixed. Both would seal cold roll steel fine.
