[Fot] Speaking of Alley Engine Plates

[Robert M. Lang]

Hi,

Even though I got one of the original aluminium engine plates, I've yet to 
install them, yet. However, Khartu has a New Year's Resolution to loose 
some weight, so the plate will be installed in the next few weeks.

The question is: are folks painting these plates (or anodizing, etc.)?

I have to be honest, I don't think I've even noticed that folks have 
installed these on the cars that I've looked at, so that tells me that 
"we" aren't polishing them before installing...

If folks are painting, please share what you're using as a primer bacause 
I have really crappy luck with getting paint to stick to aluminium.

regards,
rml
