FMTV EcoHub paint blockoff plates

Description:

These blockoff plates protect sealing surfaces from paint instead of having to use masking tape.  They allow easy hanging in a paint booth (either professional or cardboard at your house), reduce waste, and enhance efficiency.  

Will need a 5/16 or M8 bolt to connect the EcoHub plate pieces together through the center (see pictures).

Paint:

I painted my EcoHubs with the following prior to installation and it turned out well.  I chose this readily available paint to allow touch ups vs a 2K epoxy or other spray gun paint.

• Rustoleum Self Etching - https://amzn.to/4i9OsVV
• Rustoleum Farm Grey Primer - https://amzn.to/4ju18rV
• Rustoleum Farm Low Gloss Black - https://amzn.to/4j4IZ3U
   

I painted the actual hubs with the same Grey Primer and Low Gloss black, but used Rust Reformer instead of Self Etch.  In hindsight, for a tougher coating, I would probably use POR15 on the hubs but that would be significantly more $$$.
