simoniz motor cycle heat dispersant paint. Has anyone used it? Or can you recommend something else.
I sprayed my Honda 400/4 engine with Eastwoods silver engine paint 20 years ago and it still looks like its only been put on in the last couple of years! i.e its still looking great.
However, I recently sprayed my DT175MX engine and gearbox with Simoniz Engine black from Weemoto.
Its a bit glossy but it has since gone very slightly dull from when I put it on last summer.
Its got good resistance so far to grime but a petrol splash took the paint off when I didn't notice it in the first week of spraying. Unfortunately I didn't wipe it off in time, whilst it remained black it did leave a matt finish where the run was. I subsequently resprayed that area.
The paint does take a few days to harden but its been fine since. As you know Two strokers run hotter than fours which may have helped it harden better.
I have since learnt that it s also worth considering using Plastikote Bar-b-que paint from B&Q, which has excellent heat properties and adhesion and has a similar satin sheen to factory finish.
Might be worth a look.
