hi-temp silver cylinder paint

[cdndewey]

I was able to use a can of the original HD hi temp silver. You know the brush on stuff that came in those little 1/4 pint cans. Enough to do both cylinders, the blocks and the pump body. If you can still find some. The fellow doing my rebuild work (Paul Friebus) was happy to use it. Says it holds up well and works better than the spray finishes and looks right.

It's getting hard to find though.

I have a can of that and I was wondering how to apply it. So you say he just brushed it on.

Whatever paint used, do not use the WalMart brand degreaser.

It caused the paint on the cylinders to bubble and then lift. This was on my 02 VRSCA which had the factory applied silver. A friend advised the degreaser is like EZ off oven cleaner.

He prepped first. I can ask to get detail on what he did to clean and prep, but I know he did just brush it on.

That would be great...thanks.

I'll be talking to Paul Friebus this week and will follow-up. Pretty sure prep is everything
