motor is out ..seen some painted motors..looked good! what kind of paint (high temp car engine?) do u need to strip the old off is it true there is paint that reduses heat or extracts heat?

 

I used VHT paint in aerosol cans. It is ment to resist up to 700 degrees celcius, I don't know yet i haven't got my zilla back together. Looks good mine black. One prob it smears like glass but some heat resistant laquer solved that.

 

I did just some lettering on the jug and cases.
I just used a good name brand enamel paint. the jug and cases don't get hot enough to burn the paint. I just sanded the painted area lightly b4 I repainted them. and a very steady hand is needed. its held up to riding , power washings and such for about 2 years, touch is needed now and then.

 

cool sounds easy..thinking of going with black the frame is orange powdercoat
think it would look good.!

 

I take it you'r fovorite colour is orange. Btw only lightly sand painted areas but if you think th old paint does not have a good grip in places take it back to the metal.

 

I just got a can of high temp exhaust paint - orange from Eastwood.com

 

ya if i can blind the compitision 4 a sec i can win a drag once inawile

 

I have used the VHT engine enamel for years and it sticks pretty good. Some sanding, a good wash job with brake clean then a rinse with some laquer thiner just prior to painting and you should be good to go...
