January 18, 201412 yr Hi, I am going to paint the engine cases, cylinder head and barrel on my Ossa in a satin/matt black.The last time I did any engine painting I used PJ1 engine paint but trying to buy this paint now is nearly impossible. Can anybody recommend an alternative or is it still possible to buy PJ1 at a reasonable price?

January 18, 201412 yr hi mate yes you can buy pj 1 again i bought 5 tins of the fast matt satin black the other week not cheap tho hat £15 a pop i think there just being greedy because they know its good stuff and its not been on sale for a while. ive tryed a few difrant onces inmotion sell 1 wich i found good if you do it proper. i did my bultaco barrol with it turned out nice i warmed the barrol with a blow torch gave it 7 light coats warming inbetween each coat. then after the last coat i wacked it in the oven on 170F for an hour and half then let it cool down job done.
