Re: Paint for backside of engine cowling

Actually my bottom looks great it’s the top where it sits right over the cylinder heads....foil is a great idea, will the adhesive hold up in high temp ?

Re: Paint for backside of engine cowling

Not a chance would I pay 1600.00 for that....the Contego option from aircraft source is the direction I will go....will let you guys know how it goes....

This certainly is a great site, this one is a great example of a legitimate alternative.

Paint for backside of engine cowling

Anyone know if they use a special paint for the "backside" of the engine cowling where it gets hot. Mine is flaking badly and needs to be scraped and repainted ?

Thank You
