Twincam Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 How about Hamerite? I've used silver on the side engine cases and black on both the down pipe and head. They can withstand heat quite well, can be painted over rust and you can get various finishes (different pots have different finishes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderob Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I used Honda Vogue Silver from Halfords, its was a damn good match, primed, painted and laquered swing arm while still attatched to bike. I also used this to paint the engine casing at the side where oil filling cap is, not had it on long enough to see if it will withstand heat but recommended for swing arms.
