Ok, this is kinda hard to explain so I had to add a picture...

So I have this car show this weekend and I have a lil problem....

Since my vents on my EVO VII hood are exposed, when it rains these lil screws (in the pic, u'll see theres a box highlighing them) are now all rusted and shiit

that takes aways from the engine look completely....n e one have n e ideas or suggestions on how i can make em look NORMAL again.


THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

 

i just cleaned some old stuff my mom had layin around with some rust-off crap that worked pretty well, just go get urself a little bottle of some rust cleaner and a tiny wire brush...that should do the trick.

 

The rust does not come from the rain as all car have thier heat shield screws rusted, if fact it rusts because the zinc coating has melted away from the screw because of the heat is induced from the manifold, even stainless steel will turn blue. Best and cheapest way I tried is to use silver Tremclad paint, it lasts for a year before you have to repaint it again. Hope that helps !

 

where would i get somethning like that?

 

Canadian Tire in the Paint section.

Look for Heat resistant rust paint or even better BBQ paint.
