Cases oem finish
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Good point Julie about the temperature range.
The word Ceramic Resin sways you away from the lower temperature threshold of the Dupli Colour product.
Toko_Jo:
Tried the Simoniz ..wrong shade of silver c/w OE finish... I did say crankcases & covers not cyl heads, barrels. Horses for courses I guess.
Nurse Julie:
I have to disagree. Simoniz SIMVHT31D is a perfect match to OEM finish. It also lasts very well and is really easy to keep clean. We've painted 100's of engine cases and they all look fantastic. But yes, horses for courses, as you say. I used the Duplicolor on the head of one of my own engines as a trial for a customer and it was pretty rubbish, it finished up a more bronze colour and is already blistering after 5 years.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I wanted my frame powder coating in Nut Brown so I haven't a clue about shades of silver. 8) 8) 8)
I was you will probably know talked out of Nut Brown so ended with boring black - my only input was I went for a Matt finish frame. ;D ;D ;D
Oddjob:
The Dupli Color paint clearly says ok up to 500c.
Most engines can't go beyond 250F without risk of major damage, talking external temps, not internal temps, pistons for example run much hotter than 250F
