higgo Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bondy Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 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.

nh014 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 I've used Rust-Oleum medium gloss black (between gloss black and satin black) on engines for years, with perfectly satisfactory results. It is just their standard enamel. No need for an engine enamel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
