PJ1 Satin Black Engine Paint

[Neil W]

Struggling to find any stockists in the UK, the ones who are advertising it in stock are wanting £21 a can , but they have non in stock .

Anyone got a link for anyone with stocks or know of a credible alternative paint (for an old aircooled Suzuki engine) , two I have tried were not ethanol petrol resistant

Neil, I think the EU has made the PJ1 paints illegal.
You could try Halfords spray enamel, which seems good from my small trials

Tech Cote satin black high temp paint is a reasonable alternative.

Is use Wurth paint
Far superior finish than PJ1, not cheap though

 

[Neil W]

Will look into someof those suggestions, thanks

Tried a couple of paints inc the TechCote (which dried a flat matt finish ) and a couple of others that were not fuel resistant .

Saw this stuff advertised on an E Bay link so bought a couple of tins as it wasn't expensive .

Went on very well with even coats and seems to dry and adhere well , will have to see what it cures like once the bike is running but the finish is what I was after

That looks great. Good outcome.
