High temp paint
« on: February 04, 2009, 09:16:53 am »
Not sure if this is correct place to ask but I couldn't find any other place to post a question (sorry new member.)

I am looking for high temp paint; however, all I fin dis either duplicolor and VHT. The problem I have is I am not interested in painting my engine chevy orange or ford blue. I am looking to paint my engine a similar color to my Suzuki Bandit's engine which is sort of a metallic gold color but not a bright gold, its more of a dull gold/titanium/magnesium etc color. Where can I find high temp paint in these colors? Is there somewhere that can make custom high temp paint?

Thanks!

Cool!
Hot Pink and Lavender for that "special" look.

Thanks for the info. I know they make more than those two colors but I guess what I am saying is I want a motorcycle engine color, not a car color.

Can you use regular paint on the CB750F engine? I have read somewhere that the paint on a car surfaces gets as hot as a motorcycle engine when sitting under the sun, making me think I can use regular paint.

LOL, I'll consider those colors for my next "Barbie" bike build =)

A firend of mine used a simple flat black for his cases, high temp paint for a grill, looks good and has held up very well, not much for color slection though.
That which does not kill you leaves cool scabs which turn into awesome scars.

'77 CB750F Come on...were almost there!
