Yep, both should be satin black, PJI make a good black satin but it requires curing at 100c, OK for the brake caliper but I wouldn't use it on the clocks unless you have stripped them down.
Is it ok to use normal paint on the caliper?

CB350/400 / Clocks and front brake calipers of CB400f2...gloss or satin?

I'm going to paint the clocks and the front brake calipers of my CB400F2...it's clear someone has done this before and not too well. They are gloss just now but I suspect it should be satin?

I love the 're-engineered seat with unique piping'
Who was selling it....Major Bumsore or farmer Giles?

It doesn't say VHT on the can...just 180 0 C...  This one..https://www.halfords.com/motoring/paints-body-repair/specialist-decorative-paints/halfords-engine-enamel-aluminium  However, I've just read a review on the same site I don't like... maybe I'll give it a miss. Recommendations?

I've bought  a spray can of engine paint for my CB400F2. On the can it says 'dries at ambient temperatures and resistant to 180 degrees centigrade.
Is that good enough? My oven gets hotter than that, I've got cold feet!

As you have bought the lock you will not need all of the parts just the pins and spring, one to attach the cap along with spring to tank and the other to locate under the catch when cap is shut, piece of piss job.
I found out....I've got  a spare  latch now!

I'll have to wait for daylight now, but as I've bought the key lock, I may not actually need some of the parts I bought here...https://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/CB400F-SUPER-SPORT-FOUR/part_228473/

The tank cap and lock are separate items, lock is genuine Honda, tank cap with lock (?) aftermarket, plain tank cap genuine from DSS...quality looks ok.

Has anyone fitted a new tank cap to a new fuel tank? I ordered both items from DSS but there are no instructions, it's in more parts than an airfix model and I'm snookered!

I reckon some slitty eyed git on the assembly line damaged the mould and then filed these little grooves in to cover it up and hope people will think that's the way it's meant to be!

If you look carefully, there are numbers on them. 👍
What if I can't see the numbers?

They look to me as something to ease handling, hold between finger and thumb? :-\
