Re: REFLECTOR: Oil temperature

I found this link.  Sounds like something to try.  Dale, without calling South
Africa, where in U.S. is a distributor?  Maybe we
can get a better price if they know we are going to have a number of purchases
from Velocitites!!  I would think a quart is all
any one of us would need to coat everything we could dream up.

Kal-Gard Gun-Coat is a much better choice if it can be found. It was designed
for underwater demo equipment and will take a 5% salt solution forever. Also
does not act as a heat barrier as BBQ paint will (keeps heat in the BBQ ehh?)
Difficult to find but worth the effort. Used it to caot all of the air cooled
race bikes and it would last a long time.
