Eastwood has a can of carb "paint" that is used on carbs. I bought a can but have yet to use it. Check out the Eastwoods catalog or website

Zinc plate + yellow chromate dip= New Holley look
Never used the paint.Unfortunately it has to be taken apart to plate it. Oh by the way......

Hey, neighbor!

SO how dose this work?
I am taking the carb apart. I'm going to rebuild it and figured i'll try to paint ia at teh same time.

zinc plate and yellow chromate dip?
I have heard of zinc plate, i think i have seen it in a spray can. but yellow chromate?

I want the best way to make it look "NEW" but not pay a arm and leg to get it. (BUDGET)
The can from Eastwood looks pretty good. I'll look at teh setup you have said!

thanks!!
