Does anyone know where I can get some heat resistant paint to spray my engine cases in the same or similar grey? I know pj1 did some a long time ago but I don't think you can get that anymore . Could I get them powder coated ?

Tried Halfrauds? Or any decent motor factor will stock high temperature engine/exhaust paint.

I was just investigating this the other day. Check out the link below. They said so far so good with the heat resistance.

Thanks mate there used to be a great paint mixing place near me but its all closed down so halfrauds is the only place now and there's nothing a close match
That's a great find I want some! I think I may have found some in the uk ill know tomorrow.
I see its readily available from your part of world can you ship aerosol out ? If I couldn't get any over here would you be able to help me out and send me a couple of cans? Ill pay you up front for it and for your time? Cheers mate Chris

Do you not have a paint shop local that do the spray cans?
You can get custom matching and its good for 400deg.

As VVS said, Have a look around for paint shops rather then Halfrauds. I went today to get some paint for me ZZR6, I got proper paint for my spray gun and i found it alot cheaper then (in bulk) then spray cans.
They also gave me great advice, I took my sample in, and mixed it in 2 mins. Says its good for 500oC.
It is more expensive to get all the stuff at start though, but i've got few bikes to spray so pays for itself.

Donk,
Email me if you want me to look into shipping. I have a feeling the spray cans are a no no.

You'll struggle to get US Customs to accept aerosols unless you're a major company. Even UK companies with direct clearance can't send aerosols to and from USA.
