N201MKTurbo Posted November 27, 2021 Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 Be very careful and mask everything. I once thought I could carefully paint my center post with a brush without masking. Brushes flick paint no matter how careful you are. Anybody know how to get tiny paint dots of of plexiglass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetdriven Posted November 27, 2021 Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 It’s a lot more to it than that, the J yokes, for sample, are magnesium, and you need to actually really super clean it up, and then some kind of super primer and then paint it. Simply painting over it is just going to cause filiform corrosion in the span of a year and Then u have corrosion under paint hiding what’s really wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the mongo yokes which are magnesium. We had them painted by a buddy that does body work, but he didn't know the nuances of painting magnesium and they are already corroding and bubbling up under the paint again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetdriven Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 What has worked wel on the past. Abrad the surface until it’s shiny clean magnesium. Then wash with Prekote. Then force air dry with heat. Then epoxy 2k primer. Then topcoat. Then leather wrap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
