Hi All,
Happy New Year.
I have an old engine I got.
I have the exact same engine in my boat.
No one wants to work on my MD2B so have to figure this out myself.
I was looking to get rid of the 50 year old paint and rust and repaint.
While I go along refurbishing it.
The two green images are the rust.
The bare metal image is what I can get to relatively easily.
I use aircraft paint remover to remove the paint.
Then remove the rust using vinegar.
Then sit it in Evaporust.
Then I dry it and remove anything left with a dremel.
Once that is done.
What do you recommend ?
I have tried Phosphoric Acid to keep it stable until I reassemble the whole thing
but it does not seem to work well. 4124 is what it looks like after being close to bare metal and then sprayed the
Total Boat - Rust Primer.
I assume I need another primer, if so what do you recommend ?
or do you simply start painting it with the Volvo Paint can and that seals it ?
