Engine paint...

[beesfan]

Just a quick one, is it possible to buy engine paint in the form of a spray can? I've got an old engine that could do with tidying up a bit and i don't fancy going the whole hog and having the engine striped and sprayed again, it's more to touch up finish in places really.

Do honda sell it?

Cheers

Hi Kev,

Hope your match is better than the one they sent for my original '99 yellow VTR. White undercoat, yellow + laquer etc. They had a section of the original plastic to match it from + the paint code and it wasn't good!!!! I got another can from them and that was different again but still not right.
Ummmmmm.

ooops, ah well, i got it to paint a twin head light housing i got from flea bay but prolly won't get around to fitting it till the winter now, and mine is the metallic yellow so probably not much chance of a match then...doh!

i know a few guys who swear by "plasticote" for painting engine casings ....nice and cheap , but aparantly reliable and wipes clean
