Ok I know people are going to go crazy over this, but I have a KB 2.2 that's polished and YES I want to paint it. I would like it to look like the factory black one from KB or I could go with a darker grayish that I've seen people paint their eatons (with BBQ paint?).
So, first of all, are there any real issues painting on the polished surface other than making sure the prep is good and it's super clean so the paint sticks?
Is this something that could be done by somebody who is not a professional painter and has some decent skills and no I'm not referring to myself? :lol:
Any functionality problems? Like the paint holding too much heat (read that before, but didn't really make sense to me and couldn't find anymore on that claim) or are there any other potential problems on why I shouldn't do it?
Before I get a ton of "well you should have just bought a used black one". I got a good deal on it and it's not a make or break issue on the blower being polished just don't want all that flash underneath the hood. Also, don't know if KB will switch out the case and all that, but I wouldn't be doing that route anyway even if it's an option.
