The rusty cast iron PH250 small block water pump (six vane) needed a renewal after having been installed ten years ago (with very little mileage): see foto #1.

A power drill and brush miraculously removed almost all the surface rust. Next was a coat of Ospho: see foto #2.

Now I look around my paint stash to find RustOleum "High Heat" with the image of an outside bar-b-que on the label. I thought the paint was black, but it matches the cap color which is more of a silver. Now my cast iron water pump has the appearance of aluminum. Will it fool anybody (lol)?

I saw a few "spots", no fault of my own (was the manner the spray exited the nozzle). Quickly fired up my leaf blower and gave it a shot of tropical storm wind (lol).
