I'm sure a good finish can be replicated by rattle can, we only ever powder coat so couldn't advise on what to use but maybe someone that has gone that route could advise.

Hi Oggie,
I’ve used rattle cans on many projects, Hammerite Silver Smoothrite on engine parts and MIPA 2k cans for the shiny black bits. That is available from APS in Courtney Street in Hull and they can even moderate the shine by adding matting agent.  The satin black is available from Hy Cote but you might have to search a bit for that.
I’ve recently tidied up the 400/4 and although the tank and one side panel were NOS I’d had for years, the one in the pic is done with a rattle can using a Yamaha colour.

It’s here on my site:

I'm overwhelmed by the amount of help and information available and willingness to share with likeminded folk.  Simply excellent.  :)
