Agreed.

We used it to touch up some areas on an original '73 Z1 motor where bits of paint had flaked off. Unless you know where to look & the lighting is just right you'd never notice.

We also used it on the last '73 resto we did. Very durable so far (18 mo./250-ish miles). Didn't bake the cases in an oven or anything like that. The paint cured naturally for 6 months or so while the rest of the bike was being completed, then we just let engine heat finish the curing process.

Good Ridin'
