Mind the paint still being soft and easy to scratch at this point when fitting the engine back into the frame. This can take quite some time as some parts never reach the oven temps. sprays thin, which makes it really controllable.)Ĭuring is best done in an oven, but since a full engine won't fit into a standard sized one, the curing process needs to be done during riding the bike. Motip/Dupli engine paint is cheap, but surprisingly good. (sprays very thick, so coverage is excellent, but laying down initial misting coats is near impossible) VHT engine paint is very good and last well. I have mostly sanded engines by hand though and still was able to do a decent paint job, but it takes a lot of time.ĭegreasing is vital, primer might not be necessary though (depending on the type of paint used) Painting aircooled engines is a bitch really because of all the cooling fins and hard to sand/clean/spray areas, so having it media/vapour/soda blasted would probably give you the best chances of reaching all spots for a decent prep. After rubbing out the run you can bring back the glossy shine by rubbing the paint with a polishing compound and a polishing cloth. What are the experiences with you guys regarding painting an engine? You can try using a 1500 grit paper to rub out the run but avoid rubbing through the layer of paint.
