What is the proper procedure for painting the engine? What kind of primer and then paint to use. I dont want it do burn off the first time the engine gets hot.

 

dont paint it powder coat it the engine wont get hot enough to ruin the powder coat and you it will usualy last longer

 

I dont get why people paint thier motor at all. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

welll blue in a white frame looks better than dull grey in a white frame, i dont want to polish the engine at this time just freshen up the looks so repainting it suzuki blue or a color close is the option I chose to take, I dont want to take it all apart to have it powder coated, although I know this is the best finish.

 

Ron,
That suzuki blue paint from PJ1 seem to be pretty good. It is the best spray paint I have used. It matches the suzuki color almost perfect and is durable. I used my lt all year and it is wore off on the stator cover but thats it. Dennis kirk sells it. BOBS cycle might too. PJ1 has primer too. I think the can says like mid 1980`s suzuki blue frame paint(it is the same color as the lt`s) If you cant find it let me know and I can get a part #.

 

Where have I heard this before?
