    Satin Engine Paint suggestions

    Anyone got any satin black engine paint to match the engine on my 83750ES suggestions?

    Cheers,

    I used PJ1 engine and case paint. I haven't fired it up yet, so I have no idea how durable it is, but it looks good.

      I like their Matt Fast black - worked really well on my Skunk. Didn't know they did a Satin, I'll have to try to track some down. Is it a good match?

        Hey Dan, I have some PJ1 satin paint if you want to try. I don't think the color will match very well though; Suzuki used a darker black color, the PJ1 is grayer so to speak.

          It looks black to me, although it may be a bit less glossy than the original. It's hard to tell though with 25 year old paint. I do like the look though and now that it's done I'm not going to change. You need to try some, as ed indicated, to see if it's right for you.

            Ok thanks Ed. Just wanted to do a "touch in" if poss rather then the whole engine. Also debating what to do with the engine cases. Might go matt again on those...
