Redlined Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 I used a Krylon RUST TOUGH Enamel. It seems to be holding up fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyminator Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 I painted my cylinders with the same paint and clear coated em..(high temp paint of course)...but it seems like if I spray carb clearner near them...they want to begin to run.

hotrodbanshee Posted November 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 A friend of mine told me to use VHT engine enamel. You spray it on and then you put your cylinders in the oven for one hour at 200 degrees and that is suppose to cure the paint. I bought it from O'Riely auto parts. I am going to try it as soon as I get my cylinders back from getting them bored 20 over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2004LEBanshee Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 That looks good. I assume you ride trails since your from NJ, but how does that polished case keep up in muddy conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superchicken Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 thanks,i realy try not to sink it to deep into mud.i hate cleaning that shit off,it gets everywhere and then some.but after we go riding i clean her like its new again(anal i guess) and use some crome polish on the aluminium.i know riding it in the dirt ill never have show quality polished parts but try just to keep it shiny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNBRAD Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 (edited) Superchicken, is that case cracked on the left side? Weld that mofo back together. Oh BTW paint looks good. Edited November 10, 2004 by RNBRAD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superchicken Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 last year at the track i lost the chain and blew off the top of the case were they usauly do.i would try to weld it together but i couldnt find any pieces of it in the dirt bigger than a 1/2 inch so no biggy.some guys grind them down after this happens but i believe in the more metal on it the stronger so i left it,just a battle scar to me.
