paint for rd250lc barrels etc

[Gil Gallad]

just wondered what paint anybody would recommend for my rd250lc barrels and heads? powdercoated or ceracote or would normal enamel spray be good enough? many thanks

What ever paint you use, baking it on there at 200-250 degrees for 0-45mins seams to make it a lot tougher.

The baking is a great idea. But let the paint cure for a bit before the bake process. I put a set of calipers in the barbecue immediately after paint and then got to do a redo.

i have a small toaster oven committed to the garage, low heat, long time, cures it right up. 200-250 as said.

Ed Toomey is going to put the finishing on my cylinder and heads when done with the Stage 2 porting and boring.

I've used PJ1 paint in the past. I now use VHT Caliper paint.
First, I let the parts and the paint can sit in the sun for a while so they're both warmed up, then spray.
After sitting for 30min or so I put them into the pre-heated gas BBQ on low. The temp is usually in the 225-250F range. And like Ken I don't place the parts right on the regular grill. I have an old scrap of wood I set them on, and if they're small I place the whole setup on the upper baking rack if possible.
Then I let them bake for 30-60 min.
