[QUOTE="minivin, post: 43550, member: 643"] Interesting subject, as I am presently trying to get all the parts together to get my twin engine project finished in black. Previous experience for me with engines being powder coated were two Rotax engines, one a Harley Davidson MT350 that I restored and a CCM Armstrong MT500 that I have just finished. These engines are quite comparable to a Vincent engine, what with their large aluminium mass and dry sump construction. Neither engine has shown any issues, but I am still interested to hear about alternative solutions, as one of the issues I potentially would have is that the Rotax engines were done in a satin black coating, while I would be wanting gloss black on the twin engine, and from what I have seen the gloss finish seems to go on a lot thicker, which could result in either over heating of the engine or failure of the coating?
