Just masking up before painting tomorrow.
-is the Engine number normally painted? -do you leave the raised round bits around the numbered screw holes bare for seating of fasteners or not? -I think I read somewhere the casing is low gloss black. Please advise if not asap!
Thanks,Shaun

Yes, satin black
Number is painted as is under the washers
Usually not a problem as the washers stop any paint damage

Engine numbers are painted Personally I would leave the raised parts unpainted I have seen fasteners loose their torque over time, I did the same with the bottom of the engine.

I don't paint mine, I leave bare like an LC, but have to paint strip first !
Unless you want a standard finish

I've done those in Simoniz engine black gloss and they are quite, err shiny! Had it in my head that the crankcase wasn't as shiny, so I guess that's why you say satin.

Yes
On a 31k I do head, barrels, side cases, Yam disc and oil pump cover in gloss
Top case is not gloss. Satin or low gloss
Some will say the barrels were satin but if you ever see a 31k nos barrel it is more gloss than the 1ua ones
Its just the Simoniz is so feckin shiny 🤣
It does tone down with age lol
