need engine paint inspiration kz 4cyl
13 May 2012 04:56
I keep going back and forth on which colours to use on a kz650 engine
thinking about painting the cyl head and block black but leaving the valve and engine covers bare brushed metal look
i've seen lots of painted engines of hondas ect but its really best to see it on the actual engine to be painted
so if you have them post your painted 4cyl kz engines here? thanks

Mine is bare aluminum which I like; but here's an example of how not to paint one:

I'd really like to fine another method such as metal stain....
When you see a head/engine paint start to crinkle, blister, flake off etc... just looks like crap. :pinch:
