Powder coat Engine parts

Greg65:
Sorry for jumping in on this thread. I am also pondering the finish Q and was wondering if the DS VHT paint is the preferred choice or the Simoniz VHT enamel paint?

Comments opinions appreciated.

Greg

Nurse Julie:
Simoniz  VHT enamel every time for me personally.

Greg65:
Thanks Julie, one less decision.

MrDavo:
I know it should be obvious, but for heaven's sake don't let anyone paint or powder coat inside your motor, particularly where the bearing shells go.

My CB750 came with a self scrapping bottom end, caused by a 1 thou thickness of paint in the bearing carriers, put there by a previous owner on another continent, nicking the oil clearance. There's a long thread on it somewhere, but that's the short version. The fun we had working out just what the hell had happened....

Greg65:
The only daft Q or experience is the one not asked or shared.

Thanks Mr Davo.

Masking. News paper and masking tape or are there some top tips out there.

Thanks,
Greg
