Crank case paint, again!!
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I generally prefer spray paint although I had my frame only powder coated - it was primarily to save the hard work of cleaning the old frame plus it was not that expensive locally - I also chose a colour that that I can touch in if needed as it's a known RAL code - yes it will not be perfect if touched in but doable.
Through sheer luck I have had no issues with fitting bolts etc - the bloke that did the job was a biker so where it was not masked up the powder coat was not sprayed inside holes etc. I would not powder coat any part of the engine.

Al, I ceracoted the 400 lump earlier in the year. Vapour blasted the granny out of it and had the lot ceracoted in clear. Looks great but no so bling as the factory fresh look of the SIMVHT31D
I love it but also love the factory fresh painted motors but this one was to be a more classic finish and we think it looks great. Cost me about 120 for all of it which I thought was rather cheap but I guess it depends where you go
