So you painted the cylinder and head? How did you keep the paint off the edges? That is excatly what I wanted to do to my motor, like a Harley cylinder kind of.

UglyMotha™
05-19-2005, 11:01 AM
yah just paint the whole thing then run a disk grinder accross the edges of the fins just enough to take the paint off

Ugly do you have anymore pictures of just your motor? I thought I found a thread where you posted some, but now I can't find it. Also did you use the 500 degree paint?

400ex2072
07-15-2005, 02:59 PM
Glad youre alright bro, sux about the spill.... But, when youre tryin to climb straight up walls (which is what I assume you were doing) I guess thats what happens sometimes...

The paint was duplicolor ceramic flat black and goes up to some hidious heat i'm running it on the header of my streat bike and and it's holding it's own great the stuff is like 10 bucks a can it does make the motor harder to keep clean cause the black shows all dirt I shoulda went with a gloss back probably would have been easier to get clean

ugly, got any pics of the stem, perhaps after the hatfield ride, or your side panels. and would u suggest using used motor oil or not?

UglyMotha™
07-16-2005, 08:54 AM
only if the oil isn't as thick as grease then it's okay but if it's as thick as grease then I put used oil on my chain :o



I'll try and get some pics up tomorow of what hatfield can do to a quad :D

Well I have 2 cans of high gloss black here for 500 degrees. Some seem to be using stuff for much higher temperatures, the cylinder shouldn't get over 500 would it? Also have you noticed a difference with it holding in heat or anything being painted?

UglyMotha™
07-16-2005, 01:01 PM
nope deffinantly doesn't feel like she holds any heat back when I stick my hand by the motor
