Title: Engine paint
Post by: McKenzieDave on April 22, 2006, 05:48:52 PM
JohnZ recently noted that the vin pad was masked for painting.  Was it a great mask or just a piece of tape across it and you got what you got?  Any body have an original pic?  Dave

Most of the time it was just a piece of masking tape torn off a roll and stuck on the pad; sometimes the pad was just wiped with a solvent-soaked rag instead. It wasn't a "concours" operation - they just needed to have the pad readable at the shipping dock with engines coming in one every twelve seconds.

Thanks john, there will be many more of these silly questions to come.  Dave
