Hey folks!
Im strippin back my radiator n giving it a fresh coat of black, I just need some advice on what paint to use? Iv got plenty of rattle can matte black but dunno if it'l hold up under the heat! Would I better using something like Engine paint or pot belly black? [?]

Bunnings have stove black in spray cans mate. Cheaper than engine paint I'll wager.

but what will the finish be like? do you want mat/satin or gloss. i don't think the heat will be an issue as it only will get up to 100 max. just enough to bake the paint on really.

i would get it painted by you spray painter mate in a satin finish.

Was just gonna be matte I guess, u can get satin black in a can tho too... I thought about takin it to my painter but he probably wont be able to do it fast enough 4 me, Im losing my car licence for 3 months nxt week so I cant afford to be without the bike!

Im sure its just an oversight but my suspension notice only states a suspention of my P2 C class licence not my R class! So fuck em! If they wanna start sumthin over it my sister in-law is a lawyer that specialises in cases like this!
