Ok... I just checked the archives on this and they are all over the place on this on. So here I go one more time for the 02/2007 version.
I have a 78 Pace Car that I plan on flight judging this within the year. I have judged it myself and now I am fixing all of the easy points (air filter, oil filter, battery etc) The pad stamp has me stumped....
78-82 Judging sheets 'Mechanical' Part 1. Line E. assign 38 points for anything that obscures the pad stamp (paint, rust, grease etc)
but TIM/JG states under engine stamp pad section it should not be painted. later under engine paint section it states it is painted.
Mine is painted. Should I remove it? or leave it?
If removal is the best solution, what is the best chemical to remove the paint. Should I then respray and wipe (like I did on my older Vettes) to get the paint in the numbers. Once fixed I used to use vasaline to keep it from rusting, is there a better solution?
Thanks for looking.
