My new favorite spray paint

[willis]

In the past I’ve always liked Rustoleum Industrial enamel. A few months ago I saw an advertisement on FB for Seymour spray paint. I’d never heard of it before but they claim no runs or drips and is impregnated with high solids making it highly durable and impervious to chemicals. I ordered 6 various cans to give it a try.

Today was the day to give it a try. I decided to use it on my Honda CL77 project. The tank was already stripped, so I just gave it a thorough sanding and washing with soap and water. The primer layed down nice! No runs and provided great coverage. After 30 minutes I layed down the top coat. No sanding in between. I knew this was going to be a budget job so I wasn’t getting crazy. They call it safety red, but I would call it Milwaukee Tool Red. I am thrilled with the outcome. It will totally work for a budget rider. I’m sure if I put a bit more time into it the results would be amazing.

I also painted the headlight bucket with a semi gloss black, which matches the satin powder coat on the frame and headlight ears. Also painted a spare clutch cover since the one on the bike was damaged. It was called original non smudge aluminum finish. A bit lighter than the current cover but it works for me.

I highly recommend this paint. I’ll be using it to finish the rest of this Honda project.

Wow! That really came out nice for a rattle can job! And by the way, your little Honda looks like it’s coming right along.
Be sure to keep us updated!

I haven’t worked on it in far too long since I got the new Triumph. It looks more together than it is. Lots of little stuff needs doing.

The aluminum finish looks particularly good. I understand that this is a single stage paint, but do they offer any clear coats.

Looks great...timely, as I'm looking for a supply if good paint for simple paint jobs. Where did you source it from, Lowes or elsewhere?

Direct from the manufacturer and had it delivered to my door. Cost ranged from 12-15 per can depending on the type.

Interesting to see how it will cope with gasoline.

My go-to paint for engine parts has always Krylon Dull Aluminum, on top of which I would put a coat of satin clear. I like the tint of that Seymour aluminum, I may switch gears. Thanks for the consumer report test!

I may need to spray a test piece and do a little experimenting.

That is the real test, along with fading.

I’ve used Seymour paints for years. They make some great stuff.

Their zink sprays are great, as are the cast finishes.

I actually just used ford blue and their cast iron finish on my falcon motor.
