Just starting the engine baffling. Could/should I paint the baffling or just leave it as shiny alum? If painting is advised what do I use for paint, and what kind of prep works needs to be done on the alum? Thanks 10'ers. Jay Rowe

I used a dark gray, single stage Imron paint over PPG DP40LF primer for the baffles on my 8A. I used the same paint with a lighter gray Imron contrast color for the interior. This is a hard, durable paint. After 5 years it still looks brand new.

PPG Concept single stage paint is also a good choice. For the exterior I used PPG Concept clear/base coat. The product is very forgiving to the amateur painter.

I alodined the parts.  It is easy to do and does not require much prep.  I did the same on my RV6 and it showed absolutely no sign of corrosion after 13 years in Florida.
do not archive.
