• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Which brand of paint is the best for Husky engine cases and covers ...

Any wisdom on this topic is greatly appreciated.

- Primer + flat black/semi gloss enamel?

- 500f engine enamel without primer?

Is there some magic indestructible and heat proof oem paint out there that I dont know about??

Regards to all.
 
I dont have a budget to speak of - however I would like to avoid bankruptcy as a result of buying paint!

Whats you suggestion?
 
PJ1 doesn't like petrol so steer clear if you want a lasting finish.

Use a 2 pack enamel, available in all finishes and is petrol and oil proof ;)
 
I've used BBQ (2000 degree) flat black with matt varnish. Holds up well.
Available at most hardware stores. Many brands to choose from.
My favorite is High Heat Rust-Oleum.

Thank you for your suggestions ... I will let you know what I go with in the end.

To those who suggest high temp paint do you use a primer?
