Hi, can anyone tell me where you can get the paint for the crankcase covers on a 1992 xt600? there a darker grey than the usual silver and mine are looking tatty

Thanks Mike

I'm not sure about getting an exact match OEM source, but good high heat engine enamel is easy to come by.

Engine Enamel & High Heat

Just pick a color, they should have something close.

I used VHT hi-temp on my 550 cases.......worked great!

I'll just mention I sprayed a KLX engine and exhaust with normal black cellulose albeit good quality German paint I used a lot at the time and the paint stayed on the engine and silencer part of exhaust no problems, I also sprayed the exhaust on my two stroke YZ 250 eight years ago with the same paint and that is still on all of it and mint to this day.

Not sure if this is extra good quality paint or not but ive no qualms about painting a motorbike engine with cellulose.

come to think of it ive sprayed honda C90 engines with those Halfords own brand silver spray cans with no burning off problems either.

Tip: when you go over the paintwork after halfords aluminium spray paint with silver colour magic the finish looks like genuine Honda not an out of the can finish.
