Engine paint

johnm37:
The engine on my F2 is painted black. Recently it began to show it's age. The aluminium was showing through and had begun to corode.
About 3 years ago, i had my local motorcycle guy blast and paint my engine. He didn't do a good job. The aluminium is already showing. As the engine is out, now is a good time to repaint it. I'm reluctant to use the same painter. Will ordinary aerosol car paint work? Will it take the temperature?
Has anyone else repainted their engine?

Johnwebley:
Are you going black again?

If so

Make sure the surfaces are clean,

Try Rustoleom black BBQ paint,

Obviously heat proof,

Not sure if it's gloss or matt,

But they do other heat proof rattle can paints

Rustoleum is great paint with good cover.

Some engine spray paints specify using a primer. These last longer in my experience. Don't recall the brands I used, sorry. I've also had problems with what my 750 engine came with. It was the David Silver spray can they supply. After many heat cycles, I can still see a silver deposit on cloths when I wash the bike. But that might be poor preparation.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Rustoleum say no primer needed on metals. They make a primer for painting onto wood & fabric.
