Silver paint

Post by fab60 » Sun Apr 20, 2014 7:03 pm

Hey guys just picked up a cb77 and was wondering what some of you use as far as paint/spray paint for all the silver color bits? I wanted to respray the clutch cover and also the passenger pegs as they are a little dull. I would like to get some pointers from some of you who have done some restorations. Thanks in advance !

I'm in the UK and use this. Been using it on Honda casings for years.

I use VHT SP127 "Universal Aluminum" on engine cases, covers, etc. Follow the instructions on the can which include baking at 200F for 20 minutes and it comes out fuel-proof. The pic is a cover I painted next to an NOS.

I didnt go with a stock looking silver but used Eastwoods Alumablast. Comes out looking like media blasted aluminum. I used the rattlecan version on some small peices and the automotive paint gun style on most of it. Then Automotive clear along with wetsand and buff. You can spray it on bare metal, is high temp and is supposed to be industrial strength. Really easy to spray and love the look.

Any important prep before using the Eastwoods Alumablast?
