Engine Cover Back from the Dead

Lots of soaking, rust disolver, wire brushing, used the kitchen with lots of hot water (wife was not pleased).

Nice!! I assume that's the original paint color? What's your source for the engine paint/color? I've got some things I need to touch up on the engine and need to procure the paint I need.

Nice work!

If you have more rust removal consider making an electrolysis bath. It easy, inexpensive and non-toxic. Do not put stainless in it that is toxic.
