Vee engine case. Paint?
« on: September 23, 2013, 22:06:58 »
As I am taking the Clutch Basket out of my Vee for John (Sharealike) to work his magic I thought I'd make the effort and spruce up the Clutch cover and Water Pump housing.

What paint do people have experience with? How about this, eBay item 151044661387?

http://www.sv650.org/sv_restorer_part2.htm Says the SV engine case is a close match to Halfords Alloy Wheel paint. I'd guess the DL would be the same?

Did this paint workout as my engine covers need some attention.
