Engine Repaint

[alextrx850]

For the book guys, the less paint you can use the better, just enough to cover and then a spare is the rule..too many coats will detract long term....go into the hard to get areas first and then go the whole over coat..above formula is good especially for something that gets hot regularly...except from single malt..too much isn't good.

I can vote one for ALEX, this guy knows how to paint! everything that you have painted for me has come back looking outstanding.

Bigger is better, more is better, thicker is better,
It actually did look ok with 2 coats on but my stupid brain said 4-5-6 coats will be indestructible, pot hole proof, chip proof, bomb proof

I used a rattle can on my engine using the Alex theory, and it came out ok I think.

That does look really nice replacing the painted bolts with newly finished ones has made it better than new

How many cans did it take to do your motor Macca? I'm just about to do mine in black also.

[Stankflapper]

only one can mate,, follow Alex`s rule of thumb.

I used 375ml? cans and you definitely need 2 of them.

I'm leaving the casing bolts for now aswell, see how it looks. There's no way bike will win any prizes, I haven't gt the skill or patience for the finer details It'll look col as fuk though
