lol i wouldnt be too worried, as long as its dry and dust free... i was just saying.. when you start your engine fumes are given off :-)
excellent! cheers fella!
yeah i figured it may smell a bit! n i've sprayed all sorts of parts in that stuff! :D
am gonna b wrecked when 1st start it, get high enuf off just sprayin the parts! :lol:
Personally i woudln't use that stuff.
From Deamon Tweeks motorsport catalogue you can geta produxct called satin black, this is a brush on manifold paint, which as well as painting the manifold have the same effect as wrapping it, ie reducing the temps given off
as long as u do it in a garage ull be fine mate. 21 degrees is average indoor temp!

Std room temp is classed as 24 degrees c

i dont know mate, but they have our office at work at 24 degrees and its fookin red hot in there! lol!
Well i remember from chemistry A level std room temp and pressure is 24 deg c and 100 something, can't remember units for the pressure
21 degrees standard room temp mate, i work in a lab!!!
and like my garage is gonna get to 21 degrees in this winter cold!!!!not a chance, its detatched n unheated n not sealed!!! :D
am just gonna go for it anyway!!bollox to it it be reet!!
Get a gas heater in there coops and you'll be sorted. It just the air cant be cold or damp. Paint wont give such a good finish if its cold or damp!
Why not take the fanimold into the house to spray and cure like gibbo said?
Worth it i'd say! :wink:
fuk it, get it hangin off light in living room and get spraying! lol

millibars?
i got the worlds worst lecci fan heater, possibly from 1945, not sure!!its nealry fossilized so its old! not bad tho n probs gives enough heat in small area! not a chance of sprayin inside, my parents would go skitso on me!
the answer to all problems......
'IT BE REET!!!'
