Had my 144 kit sitting here awaiting an install and the unpainted head just was screaming paint me. Then I thought of the red valve covers and bam, 2st Tessi...
it is. At first I was just going to paint it silver as the clay mud here stains unpainted motor parts and I hate that. Then I thought what the heck and blinged it.
Well I want to get engine paint and hated all the colors of red, then the parts dude said use the brake caliper paint (rated for the same heat as a motor paint). He used it on an air cooled drag bike motor running nitrous and said it held up great. We will see. I like the color of red it turned out, nice and deep.
I got dibs on that one. If there's another then I'll get it for ya Looks good Kelly. I'd love to bling out my bike, but I just end destroying whatever part looks good. Every time!
darn it, I have had mine painted since january, just never posted pictures. I used engine enamel, it is holding up very well, and looks exotic. Didn't want the 4 strokers having all the fun. GP
I think it is going to look great. I like the red valve cover on my '09 TXC250. Take some pics when you get it all together on the bike!
Woodschick, You may not need it, but I am sure you want it. The 144 kit I mean and yes you will be even faster.
