how hot will a xs650 (soon to be 750) get.
i want to paint my engine shine deep black, but the only shiny paint i found sofar is engine enamel from por15.
por15 is good till 230degrees celcius.and i think it's not uv proof???
any other paint options are welkom.
thanks in advance
grtz Tre
 
Do. Not. Use. Por15. On. Your. Engine.

one of por-15's many useful properties is that it's a insulator. Not just for electrical, but heat as well. It would be like putting truck bed coating on your engine.

And if you ever change your mind... You won't be able to. I've seen diamond grit sandblasters at 200psi have issues stripping that stuff off.

It's *great* for underbody or high rust areas that you will never see (oh, yeah - it won't come up to a "shine" either) but for things you can see? I'd never use it.
 
thanks everyone, i'll look into the links from inxs.
also send a mail to ardcore, the paint on bad penny looks good
