Painting Carbs

[Katamaniac]

I am in the process of cleaning my carbs on my 83 Kat. I am dipping the carbs in that Berryman carb cleaner, the one in the one gallon can and the steel basket. The problem I ran into is it stripped all the paint off the carbs. I needed to repaint them anyway, so the cleaner just did the stripping for me.

My question is, does anyone know of a good paint to use to repaint them?

You will need to use a two part paint. The carbs are subjected to fuel and temperature. Endura is a good paint for this application. It is nasty to the body (human) so breathing protection and coveralls are a must. I would not paint the carbs once together. Take each piece and mask off all surfaces that you don't want paint on and paint each piece individually. Assemble once you are all done. I have done my carbs this way and they look great!

Thanks craig I will do a search for Endura and see if it fits into my budget.
