Tom,
I used Coroless on the frame and then put the glossy polurethane over it.
There are directions for better paint adhesion, but I think I waited too
long. A "ding" shows up pretty easily. Will not really know untill I
drive it for a couple of years if it works. I did "scuff it up" before
shooting color, but not sure that helped much. The surface of Coroless is
like teflon. What they should do is develop a coating to go over Coroless
that makes for better advesion of color coats.
You are fortunate to get that many miles out of that engine. Everything I
have read about 307's is that the metal is "soft" and wears fast. I
changed oil and filter every 3000 miles without fail. By 50,000 miles, the
rear two plugs were fouling all the time.
As for the sandbasted parts, I used the same gloss black polyurethane, but
one of the articles I read said to paint the springs a contrasting color of
black, like flat black. It said they show better.
Also, I tried to find someone with the processes of treating bare metal
like zinc coating and anodizing, but it is prohibitively expensive.
