I'm about to paint my barrels and I don't like using rattle can hi temp paint.
Was thinking of using 2 pac epoxy primer and 2 pac silver paint.
Will this hold up? There should not be to match heat with a water cooled engine...
Has anyone tried this before?

For a quick result, mask off with that alloy ducting tape (not duct tape or gaffer!)  Garbage matte or rough mask with a few sheets of paper  Barbecue paint dries in minutes and goes matt.  Polish it up a bit with a dry rag.  Job jobbed. You can always go back and strip recoat it properly but most of these e machines will get a flashover like this once in their lives and when it's been den once, you either strip it fully and do it properly or, if you can't beat 'em...

I was worried more about the temp the normal 2 pac paint can handle.
As said it should be fine so I'm going to paint those property.
Thanks

im not sure why you wouldnt use a rattle can Plasticote BBQ paint is simple and very effective.No primer no messing and a perfect finish.  |

Duplicolor engine paint, high temp, resists petrol, no primer. Put thin coats on. Goes a kind of satin finish. I have done a few bikes with it now, no problems.

Provided you stick them in the oven for curing yes holds up great against fuel.I've had quite a bit on my side casings from messing with jetting and not a blemish.

BBQ paint is very good for this as long as you stick it in the oven and cure it. If done properly it will resist petrol splashes and knocks. Does look good as it will polish up as well.
