[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 220151, member: 4617"] Thanks for the engine comments. Read your thread again. Tried a lot of different products and processes on my 1200 project. The engine is some 90% buried so what has been done will be for my eyes only and captured in the pictures. Your engine, frame and such is more in the open so needs additional attention. You mentioned early on painting the engine then using the KBS Diamond Clear, good choice I think. When I do my 1500 engine, it will be cleaned and such, then epoxy primer, paint and a clear coat. Will know how the CERAKOTE stands up by then. The 1500 is buried under a wealth of plastic so no need to get extravagant. Have done the calipers, brake/clutch MCs, and will be doing the switch housings very soon. Found that epoxy primer direct to the plastic switch housing is the best base layer.
