BikeJake Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I was reading that engine coatings play a part in cooling on these engines. I'm gonna repaint or vapour blast my top end.... Any issues? I doubt it, but worth an ask. Quote Link to comment
Fazz711 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 In theory a silver engine should be cooler than a black one but in reality never found its made much difference Quote Link to comment
rodneya Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Powder coat will stop heat dissipating and keep your engine hotter, but I don't think paint will make much difference. Both silver and black engines are painted or clear coated. If you're going to paint, get it soda blasted. vapour blast surfaces and paint don't play well together 2 Quote Link to comment

RD Cox and Sons.... Highly recommended them.... All the others weren't painted however.... He knows his refinishing. Quote Link to comment
