... interesting that you suggest stove enameling ! My plan was to stove enamel head & barrels in satin black, but the coatings company (predominantly do bike work) warned against it because of the durability of the finish which surprised me as it goes against a lot of what I have read on here and other forums !
After a lot of head scratching I've just ordered a couple of cans of Simoniz Motorcycle Heat Dispersant paint and I'll see how that goes !

I have bead blasting on my 550 engine and perfect, it very easy to clean with a brush(and fuel)looks great, and I am not worry about of the fuel/oil leaks, temperature,etc,etc
