That will determine where to file away. I always feel sorry for guys who pay the big bucks for custom paint jobs and then have to deal with shorts when that paint wears off and shorts appear sometimes after a fair amount of running time. This is also a good excuse for not painting engines--say you're just doing a long term test! I think I've had to do some surgery on most of my brass engines.
