Painting Crankcases

(1/6) > >>

Mr_Sheene:
This may not work! I have been on this site for two years and have not even managed to successfully send an e-mail to another member yet, so please bare with me. A couple of years ago, in a fit of madness, I broke my own rule and bought a 1970 CB750 on e-bay. I think that the vendor was well meaning but not talented. As a result, I have not been able to ride a bike I only bought for that purpose, so I have decided to strip the engine and with the help of a talented friend, re-build it. The cases appear to have been painted with a rattle can and need to be professionally cleaned and painted in the correct colour of engine paint. I live in Essex and am prepared to travel 150 miles or so if necessary.  I have been told that 'Ice Blasting' is the best way to have them cleaned and then I need a company that can provide a good quality finish in the correct standard and quality of paint. Does anyone know of companies that provide these services and is there any advice on the subject that may prove useful?

Hi Mr Sheene.
Welcome to the forum, (albeit from lurking in the shadows ;D)
If you put crank case painting in the top search bar you will fin hours of reading and
pick what suits you .
ask again when you have digested as much as you can take .
Good luck
Rich

Mr_Sheene:
I don't know why that didn't work before but it did this time, thanks. I have many hours of happy reading ahead of me. If you think that I'm not very good at this, you'd be correct but I can only get better. On the other hand, I may forget what I did and have to go back to lurking. Can I have my status changed to incompetent? 

Nurse Julie:
Welcome to the forum Mr Sheene. You will find all the answers you need on the forum somewhere. What is wrong with the engine / bike that has made it unusable?.

BigAl (Alan):
Viewed a CB750 at the Stafford Show, Oct 2017 (as small image) with a very good engine finish.  If he or she contributes on here, then definitely the person to ask.
