That looks proper nice. I was going to do mine in Matt but seeing yours I'm having second thoughts.
What paint did you use.
Thanks. Steve.

That's the same paint I used on my 750F2 rebuild.
Went on well with a nice finish, I even baked it in the oven as per instructions.
The only problem I have found since is that every time I go out for a run with the engine fully hot it pings a bit more paint off the end of the fins. So far I have been re-blacking the missing bits with a permanent marker pen. I know its there but otherwise very hard to detect.
I don't think it was anything I did wrong as the head and barrels were bead blasted then degreased first, and I followed the instructions to the letter. Its not happened so far on the 350F with the silver aluminium finish paint, or the matt black I used on another bike. Just the gloss black.
Hope it doesn't happen for you. Sorry to sound negative, but its something to watch for.
Bikes looking superb by the way.
