Best Carb Paint in '24 almost '25?

26 Dec 2024 14:39

I'm going to paint some carbs black which are now bare metal. What is the best paint made today that will withstand gas and etc? Is it still caliper paint?

I see that most contact cleaners will be DOA in the US on Jan 1. I hope that they won't be coming for paint next.

Suggestions welcome.

Merry Christmas.

You might want to check out Cerakote. They have various formulas, some of which are quite resistant to gasoline.

I've used Cerakote C-Series on brake calipers, fork lowers, and a valve cover with zero issues.
