Engine paint

(1/2) > >>

B11sey:
I’m sure this has been covered before but does anyone know the correct colour to paint the engine cases. I’m thinking of creokote for the barrel and head and 2 pack for the crankcases.

Nurse Julie:
No idea about creokote or 2 pack but we've always used Simoniz SIMVHT31D on Honda CB four engines.

Laverda Dave:
I would do a bit of research before painting the engine with creokote and the effect this may have on keeping heat within the engine/oil and especially an engine relying on air to cool it.

Oddjob:
If it's Cerakote and not Creokote (don't you paint sheds with that?) then it's a ceramic coating Dave and actually disperses heat better than the standard paint. It's powder coat that can hold heat in, not that I've ever found it an issue.

Out of interest: will this give a glossy or mat/dull finish/surface?
