Has anyone re-painted their engine and managed to get a good colour match?
I notice from previous posts that some have recommended Simoniz Engine Enamel but I have painted a test panel and it doesn't look right to my eyes - too much on the silver spectrum whereas the original is more grey in colour. Hamerite Silver smooth looks a better match, but I'm not sure it will withstand the engine temperature.
I've looked on RS Motorcycle paints and see that they do the correct colour (light yellowish grey), but again am not sure whether it will withstand the high temperatures on the engine block and cylinder head. There is nothing on their website that says it is a high temperature paint.
Any help greatly appreciated.
By the way - this 'project' started off as just an AIS removal job, but decided I had to do something about the state of the engine paint while I was at it....
