I've been reading and watching videos, after the final clear coat, you can sand it with fine grit paper, I'm talking 2000 fine. Then you can polish the surface, giving it a great finish.

Yeah? I'll try that. Luckily you can paint only the shroud for AX radiator. Not messing with the brass part of the radiator. In my experience painting brass was paint will easily chipped afterwards. It must be something that paint and brass not going along well together.

ah rad nowadays seems easier sad.gif. I had to cover the fins and g1/4 threads with tape before i painted mine last time.

I painted my feser360 gloss black (didn't like the matte color); it was strong as a buck, I remember strapping it with 3m clear double sided tape for mounting at the bottom of the case and the paint was still intact after I pulled it out with brute force rclxms.gif
