    I used engine paint for the temp. Wouldn't the clear coat flake from the heat ?

    I doubt it, I'd be more concerned about it yellowing. Better off with silver or aluminum colored paint IMO

    Seems like silver paint (chrome aluminum etc) always tends to show fingerprints and smudges. JMHO... ws

    Stayed up late last night with my good friend Stacy Talbert. Went through the TH350 and found it was nearly perfect inside. Only really needed new gaskets from sitting for years. Cleaned and painted the transmission cross member because Dave Tumas is a man on a mission this weekend. This GS could be running once again this weekend. Lots of work ahead but Dave is confident and I have learned not to doubt him.
