If I use the RPM now then it would not accept paint when I get around to re-assembly, correct? Do you have any suggestions?
We ran into the same scenario when restoring some of the suspension pieces on the Valiant. Various parts were completed and set aside for months before they were ready to be assembled. I suggest completely treating the parts with RPM and when you are ready to re-install them, take some lacquer thinner to the small areas that will be painted. Put the paint marks back on those bare areas that have been wiped off with the solvent. After the paint marks dry, re-treat those areas with RPM. It will not hurt the new paint and everything will be sealed and protected from moisture! This can all be done within a 24 hour period so you won't have to worry about the parts rusting again.

Dave is this suitable for parts that get hot? e.g. caliper adaptors - if they heat up would the RPM reliquify and drip off??
I used it on my disc brake calipers as well as the head-pipe on the Valiant. It can't drip off because it is applied as a thin film. Even if you tried to apply too much material, the excess would flow and run off of the part. It might turn shiny again if it is exposed to constant heat but it will go back to its normal (inconspicuous) appearance once the part cools off again. It was not developed for components exposed to constant (direct) heat such as exhaust manifolds. Those type of areas have never been tested. It does work well on bolts and pieces located in the engine compartment.

Thanks, great suggestion - thats what I'll plan on doing!

Dave, I have been using RPM on several restoration projects and the results have been outstanding. The Product is easy to apply, doesn’t modify the original appearance and has proven to be very durable. As a Design Engineer I am always interested about how a product will perform in various conditions, so I decided to run it through several test, including lab testing and a road test. The initial test started as a road test in December and lasted until March through a particularly harsh winter (applied to a front end component on a daily driver); I am pleased to say the product performed extremely well through every temperature change, snow/ice event and several salt cycles. During the road test I also conducted several lab test cycles alongside the new OEM Components I was testing for the market; the test included extreme temperature changes, 1000 hour salt spray, 100% humidity testing and it is currently going through additional “abrasive” testing. The testing was performed on a bare metal tie rod end with RPM applied after heating the part with a conventional heat gun, the product performed perfectly and generated better results than anticipated, if fact it performed as well as any of the OEM components in the test group and outperformed several of the samples. Before starting the final test, I performed a quick inspection of the parts condition, its appearance has not changed through the entire test cycle; which is a remarkable accomplishment. In my opinion, this product is perfect for the restoration industry since it does not alter the original appearance of the part and it will certainly withstand conditions much worse than any restored car/motorcycle will ever encounter. This product also has several potential applications in additional industries, including Marine. Congratulations on an excellent product, I know you didn’t request this additional testing but curiosity got the best of me and I must say I have been extremely impressed. I plan to keep a supply of it around for future restorations, I always disliked having to paint front end components on a nice driver/show car and lose the original appearance; this product eliminates that problem.

How does RPM work on threaded areas? Does it fill the area, causing a tighter fit or should it be applied after parts(front end componets)have been installed as a touch up?

Hi everyone,
As a bit of a quick introduction I'm Tom Barcroft with ECS. I manage the production and marketing of RPM . During Project Valiant I took and categorized many of the documentary pictures we used during the restoration. If anyone has any questions or feedback on RPM I'll be glad to provide input and would like to hear of any uses outside of the restoration arena.
Specifically on the bolt question : Treating the bolts and nuts separately would provide protection and allow you to store the parts for future use. The tie-rod ,clamp and nut used in some of the ads and magazine articles for the Valiant was treated a year before it was installed in the car. It's best to apply inspection marks before treating the part / area but some marks must be applied after the part is on the car. just remember to prep the area with thinner and light steel wool, apply your marks then retreat the area to fully protect the part. Applying RPM to the threaded areas does not change the threading ability.

Will RPM work on aluminum? I am looking for a way to preserve my Edelbrock Aluminum Heads, fabricated valve covers and intake manifold without painting. Thanks Scott

Hi Scott,
RPM will work on aluminum -Steve,part of Project Valiant) has used RPM on the Aluminum / Magnesium wheels on his truck with good success. We haven't tested it in a high heat situation like exhaust manifold, heads, etc. We did use it on the head pipe of the Valiant and so far it looks like the day it was installed on the car. The Valiant has been through heat cycles and hot enough to see tempature building on the heat gage when we went through the awards ceremony at the Mopar Nats. You can see the head pipe in the post higher in the page. That picture is a recent one after heat cycles. Has anyone else used RPM in a higher prolonged heat situation?

Just put the engine together. would just running the car up to temperature be ok to apply it to the aluminum intake?
