AH ..! Steve, the F2...well, er,... The backof the living room was getting crowded what with the f2 restoration and also the begining of the K2 restoration...my missis is a grand lass and didnt mind, but when I couldnt move round myself what with all the boxs of parts,I decided a judgement call had to be made and sold all the f2 stuff and spares in one go.... then i realised just how much stuff I had carelessly colected over the years, because it was still crowded.... I had to get it sorted out , i just could not find things that I wanted and kept finding things that I didnt know I had, and found things I had forgotten about entirely...I also had all my passwords in a folder somewhere for all the websites....somewhere, I know it IS somewhere, but at the moment it seems to be nowhere......hence re-registering with a new password etc..

Hinomaru....thanks for the pictures of the correct colour (color lol) aerosols..... which pose even more new questions..; Is this available in the UK (USA companies cannot post paint to us so they say) Is this heat resistant for the crankcases? is it chemical proof once dry? can we get this Direct from Honda UK? like D.Silver?  Thanks...

For those who are really confused, kaceyK2 was originally (and still is) kaceyF2 on the .net site...   ::)

Kaceyk2, I don't think the paint is designed to act as a (high) heat resistant product, but it seems to be a be a very durable paint as it's used for Honda outboard boat motors and lawnmowers. I can't say for sure if it's enamel, polyurethane or ceramic based paint. Once fully cured it's chemical (gas resistant) up to a point. It's been a while since I purchased the cloud silver in the photo's, but here in the USA the spray cans are available from Honda, through either the marine and/or the lawn & garden division. (not motorcycle) It's a bit pricey as it costs around $25-$30 (US) a can.  

I see you have a UK Honda site: http://www.honda.co.uk/ and perhaps one the dealers carry it or can order it?

I've discovered that the Honda cloud silver color has a very low metallic particle content, almost a pure silver which makes it a bit unique and hard to match up compared to other silver paint on the market.

I have already tried 2 Power Equipment dealers in the West Midlands for this paint but they have said they have no record of the aerosol part number I gave them (from a US site) and they did not stock paint.  Mind you they weren't very interested!

Thanks for the info, I will try and harang d.silver a tad!  Steve , unfortunately, I tried to recover my passwords  for kaceyf2 but couldn,t as I had changed my IP and therfore the IP address, and was told that unless I could remember my old email address the site couldnt help....I still believe I have them written down somwhere...but then again I still believe I have some bolts in a box that are just the right size for that thing I need them for......so have had to re -register on many sites..and as I have not got an f2 any more and have a K2, I thought it would be more fitting to be kaceyk2... except that is for ebay, where I will remain kaceyf2 because of my 100% feedback record..... no one is more confused than me, passwords,email addresses, login details...I am not good at these, I prefer spanners or a piano keyboard where I am at home.
