OE Engine paint

[artgwebb]

Does anyone know if you can get the original colour (Looks like platinum) engine paint for the BROS? I've got the engine out of my 650 at the moment and have dressed some minor corrosion on the block - be nice to keep it the original colour

What year Gavin?

I had my 88 gray (US model) touched up by a local shop and he matched it perfectly with something he said that was a Nissan color I think. ((shrug)) it was about 10 years ago. ops:

It's a MkI Bros - 1989/90. I enquired at my local Honda dealers but was told they don't do it. You say you had your's matched by a local body shop. Can they supply paint suitable for engines? I thought it had to be specific for aluminium, with ecthing properties, and a high resistance to temperature?

I'd use a commercially available product but the corrosion is only in one area and I don't want needlessly paint over the rest of the block in a slightly different colour and lose the nice factory finish.
