SeanFD:
I’ve decided to paint my engine, since everything else is being powder-coated.

I’ve searched for paint recommendations and the one that seems to be favoured is Simoniz VHT Silver and the Mfr Code for this is SIMVHT31C. However I cannot find it.

I have found:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-x-SIMONIZ-SILVER-VHT-PAINT-Brake-Drums-Calipers-exhaust-manifolds-500ML-VHT22D/264227677240?hash=item3d85326438:g:wUEAAOSwJrdcgDF1 - SIMVHT22D up to 800ºC

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4x-500ml-Simoniz-Vht-Very-High-Temperature-Silver-Spray-Paint/401496585540?hash=item5d7b0fb544:g:5mYAAMXQJ3xRfSBw - SIMVHT22C up to 1200ºC

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SIMONIZ-ALUMINIUM-ENGINE-ENAMEL-TOUGH-PROTECTION-PAINT-SPRAY-500ml/391967859719?epid=1623380237&hash=item5b431ae407:g:R5wAAOSwwZtaaF1p - SIMVHT31D up to 800ºC

Can anyone tell me which, if any, one of these is the same or closest match; or point me to the 31C version.

Thanks

Nurse Julie:
It's SIMVHT31D that is available now which is the superceded number of SIMVHT31C which is not available.
SIMVHT31D is what we use on all Honda CB SOHC /4 Engines.

It's absolutely fine with normal everyday spillages Ken as long as its oven cured. But, like any paint, it's not 100% petrol resistant, ie, if you soak something in a bucket of petrol that has been painted with it, the paint will eventually come off.

You could always build an oven like mine during lockdown.

Also, at work, I still have our old NEFF built in oven from when I upgraded our kitchen at home...... which will go in the works skip once I go back.

Thanks Julie.

I found some today at what I thought was a good price (£6.99). Then checking on EBay, I see there are two types of enamel Aluminium: one is simply aluminium while the other is aluminium silver.

I can’t check until tomorrow which one I actually got, but I think it is just plain aluminium. Is that the one you use?

Thanks to COVID, I’m living alone at present, so I can sneak parts past myself into the oven and can avoid the need for a special construction  :D

The guy who is doing my powder coating has offered to blast the cases. Is this the best way to go? After blasting, do I need to prime the cases before painting? I think I read not.
