Norton Mk3 silver engine paint

p400 · Sep 24, 2023

My Mk3 has a silver painted engine , cases and head, as were all MK3.
I would like to refresh engine cases/head with new rattle can paint found in USA.
What is the recommended paint?

Flat silver UHT header paint. Prep the cases thoroughly (I prefer bead blasting and a thorough wash in the sink with plenty of soap) paint them, let them dry then bake them in the oven for several hours at 300° F.

The rattle can paint used to be PJ1 if its still available.

trying to learn a little something here. was the bottom end engine painted from the factory? if so, was it gloss, semi-gloss, semi-flat, or flat? only thing i can add is, i've had good luck with VHT paints on various engine applications.

Painted cases and heads on late Commandos...

Chaps, Does anyone know why Norton painted the cases and heads on later bikes? Rough cast alloy seems to me to not really need, or benefit from, painting. So why did they? And, does anyone know what paint was used? It does appear to be very durable stuff.

I used Rust-O-Leum silver on the 850 lump that I stuck in the Dreer Prototype Monoshock bike...

That is a very cool customization. How did the mono shock work out overall, how well did/does it perform?
