My q-jet is black from the factory. That's how they make them. I am in process of dipping this weekend and I'd like to know what's the smart approach to redoing any paint that comes off the carburetor. I kind of like the natural look of the zinc chromate with greenish brown topcoat. Or even grey. Is this possible and what's the best home process. Do I use gel paint remover 1st? Or just go over the existing paint?
If it's too big a deal maybe I can redo the black. How is that done?

Send it to Cliff! He does awesome zinc chromate recoloring. I would contact him. 8)

I have tried two brands of carb paint and both melt away with fuel spray. The only process that will hold is the dichromate dip.

Yeah, the stuff you get in the can may look nice after spraying it on the carb, but soon as it gets some fuel on it, it will dissolve it. :-\
