The engine came out of a 1981 Special II. I already painted the jugs and top cover black. I painted the cylinder head in silver. I have plenty more silver paint. So, I'll use it.are they darkened Silver or faded black?
either case ;^) I'm for a quick rattle bomb with engine paint.
May as well send all the acorn nuts for a quick replate....The engine came out of a 1981 Special II. I already painted the jugs and top cover black. I painted the cylinder head in silver. I have plenty more silver paint. So, I'll use it.
