Who mentioned cooling fins? I specifically said I use the Duplicolor on Honda alloy crankcases and side covers. It's good to 260°C ...if the crankcases on any of my engines reached anywhere near that temperature I wouldn't be worrying about the shade of silver.
Nurse Julie:
So what paint do you use on the 750 head and barrels? You put a photo up of 750 cases, I'm assuming they were a photo of your cases, so what paint did you use for the rest of the engine?. Show me a photo of the complete finished engine in the bike.
Oddjob:
Cylinder heads do not go above 375F as a rule, As Jo says, if they do the paint on it is the least of your worries. So 500F should be more than ample.

If you read the title of this post it is titled 'Cases OE Finish' ... so I answered that question, based on my own personal preference and that's why I put up a picture of my CB750 cases.
I wish I could show you a picture of my completed bike but it's been in pieces since 2009 and won't be reassembled anytime soon I guess ...main reason I am concentrating on my smaller bikes like CB92 etc, as things have moved on since 2009 in a now market flooded with CB750 'show ponies'
What do I use on my cylinder head, barrels etc. ? ... Well that's a totally different question to the title. Answer is Simoniz paint ... exactly the same spec/code, as detailed on here but I only use because it handles a higher temperature. I tried the Simoniz on the crankcases and it just didn't look right compared with OEM ... so I gladly pay 25 quid a can for the Duplicolor, as I am very happy with the finish, as are loads of folks on the USA site.
Oddjob ... Sorry ... I chickened out on using the Duplicolor on top-end components and I am still not convinced that it wouldn't be perfectly fine to use the Duplicolor paint on those parts too. Pretty sure the USA guys use it on their top ends.
As I said before horses for courses.
