My BiL painted his Fireblade  engine in situ with a great result.
It will air dry & cure over an extended period.

Possibly, I wonder whether a watercooled fireblade engine might get more even heat distribution, to cure the paint. That might be fine for the front of the engine by the exhausts, but it is cooler around the starter/ gearbox area and that is where the VHT hasn't stayed put, on mine.

BiL just left it for 3 months to self cure at shed temperature.

Once all the solvent has evaporated it is cured - baking or similar just speeds up the process he claims.
