well i dont know if this is a stupid question but im in the middle of a rebuild and everything is looking nice except my crank pulley is rusty and the stock paint is all flaked off. if i paint it will it mess it up in anyway?
Painting crank pulley
- Thread starter evil_shenron
- Start date
No tape and painted it all no problem. (except the middle where it mounts)
The grooves will help wear the paint away within a few days anyhoo.

DO NOT PAINT IT!!!!!
IT IS BALANCED TO A VERY HIGH TOLERANCE AND MUST BE LEFT ALONE!!!
Buy a new one if yours is rusting...
JK foo...
You can paint it up all you want. Paint it STi pink if you wanna.
The belts may squeak if you paint the grooves, but only for a few days as Duane said.

What paint did you use? I like that.7M-GTE said:heres mine painted... I actually painted all of my pulley's
EDIT: this is before all mod's this was just a stock toyota rebuild...
I used like 3 coats of primer and then an engine paint... it was old ford blue... it was the best blue to match the blue interior... I'm doing my hardpipes in it right now as I type... they are almost done... I'll post a pic of them in here so you can see the colors...

how interesting, i thought it was more of a metallic flake paint. I think thats what i want to go with. A deep dark blue metallic. Like zooloo's exterior paint, that and polished/chrome.
