Title: to paint or not to paint
Post by: billy192 on January 30, 2019, 07:34:29 PM

Hi,
I have a CB250 G5 (stop laughing) in green I have had this one for several years. it sits with my CB750 K6. Anyway i have decided to rebuild the engine as its a bit tired. I have new +50 pistons and rings the barrels off for re-bore. my question, do i paint the engine cases or leave them bare?

back in 1976 i had a G5 in green and I am sure the engine was covered in silver paint bur the outer cases including the clutch cover were polished. i bought it second hand so not sure what they were like when they left the factory.
