The Finished Chip Beck Spec CB1100-PHOTOS

Looks fantastic Chip. Only thing I would add is tape off and black out the Honda on the cases.

Ole,

I thought the same thing but didn't know what kind, if any, type of paint would stick to those hot engine cases long term. I even thought about buying the black lettered cases from the '14 delux. What type of paint did you use? How is it holding up? And did you post a "how to"? Thanks.

Mask as required. Rattle can paint is easy to apply. Fine sand the target to get rid of waxes etc and rough up the surface. Etch prime, it's important, then use a high heat enamel. For filling the lettering it doesn't have to be the VHT and can cure "in situ". Clear cote if you think it needs it. Probably doesn't.

This is the type of paint I would use for that job.



When I paint the engine covers (stone chips) I use this stuff, below. But it really should be cured in an oven. Heat lamp and 7 days would probably also cure it.



Cheers
