Other than being a crappy paint job, what makes it unairworthy?

I had the same thought.

An engine that has paint all over the dataplate, carb, etc., is airworthy and can be put into an airplane and flown as-is? To me, "Low time" suggests it can be flown as-is. Wouldn't the paint on the cylinder heads change the cooling characteristics? Is that legal? I'm no expert, so OK, maybe I was wrong. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 535 Likes: 8 Member/500+posts | | Member/500+posts Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 535 Likes: 8 | It is not the color of the paint but the spec of the paint. Spec of the paint must meet the MFG requirment. My guess though do to the quality of the application that that is rattle can paint that might be heat resistent. I doubt though that it is certified for use on an Aircraft engine. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 211 Member/100+posts | | Member/100+posts Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 211 | Paint's not an issue. I know of one purple O-200 running around, and it's legal. Continental Gold isn't any particularly fancy paint, except for the neat fact that it turns pink when it is overheated.

I've never noticed this on my cylinders. But, I've never really checked them out while they're scorching hot. I would imagine you'd want to shut the engine down before sticking your head in there.  >>>>>>>>>Slap<<<<<<<<<<<  | | |
