XT600 Engine Painting, Requesting Help
Hello all!
I recently acquired an XT600 43F (1984) a few months ago (April 2025) and have been slowly bringing it back to life. The engine has been rebuilt and most of the issues I have with it are cosmetic (paint, detailing, etc.)
I wanted to ask if it's possible to paint the engine without having to completely disassemble it. Once removed from the frame and disconnected from the exhaust, carbs, etc. would it be possible to mask all the openings and such, and then head straight to spray painting it?
Unfortunately there aren't a lot of mechanics in my area (Philippines) that I trust to take the engine apart and keep all the parts. I'm worried something will get lost in the process of a full disassembly because I'm not doing it myself.
I'd love to know your thoughts on this. Thanks so much and ride safe!
