I'm tearing down a M900 engine and want it looking brand new and original.
Do I paint or powdercoat?
The only high temperature available isn't quite on the money for a colour match (reasonable close). Does anybody know if there is a powdercoat colour that is spot on?
Cheers [thumbsup]
Paint them.
Powder is too thick and will retain heat in the engine.
Ceramic is better than powder but doesnt restrict heat as much, I personally have an older v twin with powder coated jugs and head but its not aluminum, never had any trouble but i agree, high heat paint works better than powder
Cheers guys,
I was leaning towards powercoat but Perth Summers are a it too warm at the best of times!
Paint it is [thumbsup]
IMHO, I would not advise ceramic coating the engine.
As you want the cooling fins to radiate heat, not keep it in.
