Mr.Pontiac:
I was told over the weekend that all the green colored parts on a q-jet are actually a Teflon coating, I thought it was just a added color plating for looks.Anybody redoing this if it’s true?

Cliff Ruggles:
It's supposed to be a Teflon coating, but green paint will work fine if you are trying to duplicate the original color and the parts needing it. 

Problem is that there are a LOT of different "green" paints out there, so you may have to try a few to find the one that is closest to the original color....

Burd:
I see the stuff all gold plated all the time at the swaps/shows.  It looks bad.  And people think it was factory. 

Cliff Ruggles:
I see the entire carbs zinc plated so it looks like a big gold nugget....talk about UGLY.

Even with that said I've had customers bitch when we colored the castings correctly and combinations of bright zinc, yellow chromate, and green on the parts like the factory did.  They were expecting a big "gold nugget" based on their Internet "research".

So I ended up doing most of them as shown in the pic below unless the customer specifically asked for factory "colors" on the associated parts......FWIW....

Holley colors. :D
