Can I paint my carb?
ok since the pattern for title names is to be as vague as possible... i'm sure this has been covered before... prolly in a post thats titled "Check this out" or maybe "Can this be done" or possibly "my dog is hairy" I can safely say .... TITLE YOUR F'N POSTS ACURATELY!!!!!
Ok to the matter at hand... I just ordered a master rebuild kit for my Mikuni 44PHH and since I'm at it I was wondering if anyone knew whether I could paint my carb without causing any damage? Maybe recommend a paint???

oohhh, i got owned
still, i dont know if id paint it. id probably clean it up and use a wire brush on it. itd be better if you had a wire tip for a power drill. just clean it up a little. the only way youre going to get it looking perfect would be if you took it completely apart and started there, IMO.

I should have asked how I can get it to look better... I'm FAR from wanting to be a ricer. I was thinking flat silver engine paint to make it look new. Mine is prolly the most used looking one I seen on the forum. I thought I heard that there was a way to get the aluminum to look good... I assumed that meant painting.... but if the old wire brush is what I need to do... Then thats what I will do. Thanks guys.
ooohhh and whats with the "mikuni you cant see" thingy???

Airflow is my life
You could buff/polish it and clear coat it. That would look better than any paint. Lotta work though. And paint will lose its gloss/shine in the engine compartment in a few months. Powdercoat would look great and last.

If you really want to color it the smart thing to do would be to get a rebuild kit and strip it down to the plates then have it powder coated.
It should only run about 50$ to powder coat but youll have te re-assemble the carb with the new rebuild kit.
