You can put ACF50 on anything - it'll just smoke and burn off exhausts and really hot stuff but engine casings will be fine.
You can't get the exact paint for the casings but most people use Hammerite smooth silver which is a pretty near match.
There's lots on here from people who've done their casings using it.
I did my front cover with it last year and while a long way from showroom it's much better than it was (casing screws changed to stainless since pictures taken).
Hello,
Sorry just re-read your later reply and can see you've already answered my question about prepping the surface!
But on a separate note, do you remember where you got the stainless bolts from? I've been looking at a set from Chris Shaw online.
Lastly... for the 4 bolts that are fixing the crud catcher in place, do you remember what length you needed and spacers?
Thanks,
Tom
