Post Engine paint - help
Noticed a couple of small chips on the black painted parts of the engine.

I want to touch them up (no not in that way) bad choice of words. :D :D :D

Has anyone used Halfords very heat resistant paint?

It says it is ok up to 600 degrees - haven't got a clue if that is enough or does the CB run hotter ? :help

Also I have read on this site there are some issues with the paint on the sump - would this paint be ok for that also ?????

All help gratefully recieved.

That stuff is supposed to be ok on your exhaust let alone engine casings, if i remeber correctly it dries a not pleaseant matt, someone correct me if its changed.
I'm sure there used to be a product called engine black but i guess the casings are coated with something else nowadays

I would test it on something first to see if it dries anything like the right shade of black

Did my cat with that stuff too. It dries to a darker grey than black. Got loads of chip marks on the cat too now, gonna have to do it again over the winter I think. Plenty of those resurfaced road chippings in the West Country last week. :thumbdown
