Engine Paint

WestCoastBoardr · Aug 7, 2011

Hey guys, So i'm doing an engine swap on my 90 fzr 600 because i slid it out on Grace Rd. in Surrey, unintentionaly hit a jump in the road (if youve been there you would know what im talking about)

anyways the engine took a hard hit and was not running and besides the fairings everything else is fine.

so today i got the old engine out and im thinking about changing it into a naked bike so i wanted to paint the other engine i bought a nice flat black before installing it.

what kind of paint should i use for this? does it have to be heat resistant or would a can of spraypaint do the job?

Thx

It needs to be heat resistant and solvent resistant.

dupicolor makes a flat black engine paint in a spray can. buy it at canadian tire.
use self-etch primer first.

That stuff is garbage. At least go to Vancouver Autocolor and get some decent SEM product if you are going to use a
rattlebomb.

The best "stick to anything" paint I have found
is the John Deere (yep - the tractor guys) muffler
paint.

It is a bit "flatish" black, about $20 a spray can,
and available at the JD dealer in Abby (just north
of the border).

Tried a bunch of the header, VHT, etc paints and
nothing comes close to the JD muffler paint.

rattle can stuff follow banditos opinion i have used and its good stuff on all my stunt bikes : engines frames and swingarms the stuff gets really hard with heat and is a beooootch to scratch off if you dislike the color

red death rattle can job looked pro and it was solid note the smurf blue block

SEM is pretty much the best aerosol paint you can buy. Available at Vancouver Autocolor.
