You can colour epoxy with poster paint.
You know, the powdered paint that they mix with water to change the colour of play group children....I mean for the kiddies to paint with. Just mix a little of the powder in when you mix the two epoxy parts together....China restorers use that technique to mend broken pots...Obviously getting a perfect colour match is a skill, but black should be easy. Epoxy is best cleaned up before it sets, with water...Warm water is best, maybe with a (really tiny) drop of detergent. Solvents are no good. Epoxy is actually not brilliant at handling heat, so is not ideal for engine repairs. There is a one part polysulphide glazing sealant called Arbocol. which is trowel-able/workable, and would fill cracks ect. It dries like a hard rubber and comes in various colours (probably black). Later this week I will be using a butyl rubber glazing medium for the first time....I will report back if it appears useful for this job.

Do you mean the cam end covers or belt covers.

Something else to check Albie, make sure the cylinder studs are the later items, not the stainless early versions

Snapped studs would be taking originality a bit far Albie.

They are not stainless as have minor rust scratches.
Just been looking for the colour of covers. Any good pics of colour would help me as too small in bible. Also looks like DUCATI is unpainted and the surround too ?

Here are a few taken in the past, plus a couple more taken this morning in the garage, but it's lashing down at the moment so the lighting isn't good. It is a dark anthracite grey with a metallic flake to it. I wouldn't have described it as titanium though as it doesn't have the greeny brown tint that usually gives. I think that's original '93 paint [What's left of it] as I know they haven't been refinished during my ownership. Looks like a job for the winter though, ready for next year.

You can't go putting an extra allen key in there, Albie.
That wasn't how it came out of the factory. Ps. hope you're not waiting for that exhaust clamp piece. I haven't been able to get any time on the lathe lately, but hopefully will do this week. |
