I prefer PJ1 fast black gloss, what ever you use make sure it's petrol resistant, first time I painted my side casings I used normal gloss black & when I had to do some work on the carbs the fuel stripped it & I had to re do them   Like that Halfords paint Kennyroberts is it metalic silver or black, got any pics of the completed engine with this on it  |

nikfubar, i havnt finnished building the engine yet, but i have pics of the cases, its sold as metallic black, but looks more like a graffite/ silver grey colour, i wasnt sure of it at first, but i like it now.    cant vouch for its durability to petrol etc, ill have to wait and see, but the plasticote of the barrels and head is good stuff |

Bottom half of the case was Unpainted Ali. from the factory. Only the top case half was painted.
If that matters
