 Posted: Sun May 25, 2008 7:38 am Post subject: Engine Baffles - Paint/Alodine ? |
 |
|
Taking a look at my engine baffles and the potential heat that the baffling endues, I am curious to see what others are doing........
I have some 2-part epoxy, but I am worried about discoloration and odor especially during initial flight testing.
Alodine seems to be a good solution (no pun intended) as it should be odorless when hot. There was a short post last Sept. but an update would be appreciated !

I painted the baffles on my Pitts 25 years ago with Imron and they still look good except for some minor discoloration next to the cylinder heads. Always had to be careful about scratching them though.
A local shop anodized all the baffles for my -10 for $75. Really looks nice, and I suspect they will be much more durable than paint.

I had my baffles powder coated by a local outfit. If I remember
correctly there were 9 pieces. Was able to match the "goldish" color
of the engine that came from Mattituck. Not yet flying (but getting
close) so I don't know how it will stand up to the heat but the
powder coaters assured me that their paint was "good" to 500 degrees.
We will see. Jay Rowe 40301 (finishing the wiring and interior).

I painted mine with the same paint they used on the engine - PPG Concept
DCC. Alodined and primed with PPG DPLF primer. The baffles and engine match-
looks good.

I used Imron on my RV-8A. 400 hrs and it still looks like it was just
painted. I'll probably use PPG Concept (single stage) on the RV-10 as I
have found it to be an easier product to use.
