Subject:Re: WBX: Paint Fuel Injector Body and Brackets with POR-15?

Thanks much Frank.

Now I can gussy up my FI's!

Had also wondered if POR eats away fuel injector plastic (paint bleeds
a hair onto plastic) and that if paint too thick on parts, the big
rubber O ring might be too tight of a fit. But ..... bracket shape
seems to allow for a little expansion of the large O-ring.

And those are some attractive prices on used POR'd parts. Good to know
aboot. (Can-con)    ;^)

What would be nice is if regular BASF or ? body paint would be
suitable as a top coat over POR on intake runners.  Match the Slate
Blue I have.

Neil.
