Painting the inside of a signal
by Sky Chief on Sun Mar 17, 2013 8:02 pm
If you were doing a quality restoration on a signal that was not painted on the inside the body from the factory, would you leave the inside bare after blasting or paint it? Which camp are most of you in, authenticity or aesthetics? I tend to like things to be the way the manufacture intended. What are your thoughts?

the powder coating shop coated my TSI's insides and I didn't even ask them to and I like it as it is cleaner and will help prevent corosion.

I would leave it as is.
As for powder-coating, most places prefer to do both inside and out ....it's much easier due to the process that's involved.

A cop pulled me over and said, "Papers..." So I replied, "Scissors! I win!" and drove off.

I guess I would paint the inside as well. Tough call really.

I really don't think it makes that much of a difference. My personal preference is to paint or powder coat the inside too. As was stated earlier, it looks cleaner and will help prevent corrosion.
What's with all the quotes in everyone's signatures?
