[SEL] Big Huber Weekend / paint (Xpost)

[Andy Glines]

The Huber 16 restoration took a major leap forward this weekend.  Dad was 
able to borrow a compressor and sand blasting outfit from his construction 
site.  We picked it up Friday afternoon and spent a big part of the weekend 
blasting 99yrs of old off of the Huber.  1700 lbs of (black beauty) sand 
later the engine and its parts are much cleaner than they were before.  I 
have given all of the blasted parts a coat of primer.  It is probably a good 
idea to go ahead and paint most of what has been cleaned.  What should I use 
for paint?  I especially need something good for the boiler.  Does 
automotive paint take the heat OK?  Parts of the cylinder should get pretty 
hot as well. I am considering using an automotive urethane finish.  I'll try 
to post some pics soon.  I want your opinions and please tell me what has 
worked good for you.
