Thanks for all the help so far peeps and getting down to so e christmas building fun.

My freshly blasted cases, being cleaned of all the nasties do they need painting including the cylinder block/head etc. I am loving the clean blasted finish but on the singles site the seem to advise painting them.

your thought please Gents.

And a merry Christmas!

SteveD CB500K0:
They'll oxidise quickly if you don't paint them (or polish them regularly)

One or two of the guys on here have done good jobs with Halfords-type aluminium paint (I used it on my Sprint foothangers and it matched the original alloy nicely)

Spitfire:
As Steve says they look great now but leave them as is and they will soon oxidise and go crabby.

Cheers

Seamus:
I used the Halfords Heat resistant stuff for my motor.





Looks OK

pae:
The Simoniz "5 Wheel Silver" does a fairly good job, covers well, doesn't run, dries quickly and had a lot of manhandling without flaking off.
