Engine finish

(1/1)

Hi folks,

A quick question, was the engine finish on the PPR 750F2 pained black satin or was it powder coated. I read a recent article form a lad who restored a Yamaha 750 who used PJ1 Satin finish but stated you can no longer get the paint due to the lead content. Any advice greatly appreciated.

I am pretty sure its satin black paint,  on the F2 /phil read


 I done my gpz earlier this year with satin black, it came out good , i have another f2 engine to do so will probably use it on that

The Phil Read Replica had the standard cb750 F2 SOHC engine which was satin black, I have just rebuilt mine for the second time in 10 years, the first I used PJ1 Satin Black which looked great but loos tatty after so e road use very suseptable to stone chips etc. I have researched many coverings/ coatings, and the best

Best covering I can find is stove enamelling which looks great as well as being very tough plus it is no where near as thick as powder coating which can effect engine cooling.

Thanks Guy very much appreciated. The finsh on that Kwak looks excellent UK Pete.
