#124756 Butter Bean (User) As I shifted into 5th I forgot why she was nagging Expert Boarder Posts: 500 painting the engine 3 Years, 8 Months ago   OK I've made up my mind, I'm going to paint the motor black. so I know im going to remove the motor from the frame and should I just take off the chrome and tape the openings up or tape over the chrome, or disassemble the whole motor, and what kinda of paint to use jsut normal black motor paint or wrinkle finish?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #124767 Hotelfox (User) Riding The BIG RED THUNDERCHICKEN!!

Paint you use depends on the finish you want. Make sure you prep it well (degrease) ... you don't want it flaking off next year.

Like Doc says you don't want it peeling off...not a good look.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #124809 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!

And they are faster too.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/09/28 20:00 By Curt.   My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #124820 Rocker (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 55 Re:painting the engine 3 Years, 8 Months ago   I painted mine a few years back. A must is to degrease the motor and tape every thing off, I used rust-oleum HIGH HEAT. It resists up to 1200 deg. Don't know any power plant thats runs that hot. I have'nt had any cracking,peeling or blistering at all. Plus it looks tough.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #124822 Emu@Oz (User) Emu Says Platinum Boarder Posts: 2084 Re:painting the engine 3 Years, 8 Months ago   Hey Rocker..did you paint her black mate? I guess painting also gives you the opportunity to clean up a few of the blemishes in the castings. One of my very few complaints about the quality of the Yami engine (mine's 1600).   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
