Painting Jugs

[hotrodbanshee]

Hey guys I am wanting to paint my jugs yellow on the shee. What paint do ya'll recommend using? I want something that will look good and hold up to the heat for a long time. Please post pics of painted jugs if you have them. Thanks

I used a Krylon RUST TOUGH Enamel. It seems to be holding up fine.

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.

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.

That looks good. I assume you ride trails since your from NJ, but how does that polished case keep up in muddy conditions

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

Superchicken, is that case cracked on the left side? Weld that mofo back

together. Oh BTW paint looks good.

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.
