Conventional Wisdom: > You don't want to paint over the beading. Uh, well, I did when I painted my SqBk in my garage about 5 or 6 years ago. And this morning I gave it a good close look...and there is no problem at all with chipping, breaking, or whatever on the beading (of course, all the paint has fallen off the metal body!). Most likely this happy occurrence is due to the wholesomeness of the air and sunshine in Utah... Also, I remember that I made my beading from Type 1 beading, using the old T3 beading as a pattern to cut the T1 stuff. Worked pretty well. The time for a re-paint is fast approaching. Upon that occasion I will have no hesitation to paint over the beading again. But what do you expect from someone who loves carburetors? My shame only continues to grow....
