engine paint?

[cosmicknome]

I know this is bit early in the year but i would like to sort the paint out on my m1000's front cylinder head. I decided to do this next winter when i have to take both heads of to replace the exhaust valve guide's.Is there out there some one who supply's spray paint in a can that is a good match to the original engine colour.

Try RS paints.

I bought some paint and lacquer for my MTS 1100 from them and it was a good match.

sorry this posts bit late, i'll look them up on the web.the reason i ask is i was looking on e-bay and i found some one who could supply two different shades of grey colour for ducati engines. has any body got paint off e-bay in the past and was it any good?

Have a look at the VHT paints from John Woolfe Racing.

I have not used the silver, but have found that silver paint in general doesn't differ very much.

I have however noticed that applying lacquer does change it's appearance...Something for you to experiment with.

Edit....oops sorry this will helpful.. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/PartsORama/VHT-PAINT-AEROSOLS-/_i.html?_fsub=1800182011&_sid=126263031&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322

Halfords Wheel Trim Silver isn't too far off

Best name ever for Silver paint was the Silver for 1950s cold war jets.

High Speed Silver.

We found that virtually any Silver paint did the trick on models...So I don't think matching will be too difficult.
