CM185T: Painting the Engine

Restore
Brett and I pulled the motor from the frame to better clean them both. We plan on painting the motor black and sanding the edge of the fins so they're a polished silver, gleaming with the reflections off the glossy black finish. We tested it on the valve cover and the alternator cover and they turned out great. the metal accents are already looking great. We'll probably shoot to have the motor fully painted by mid February

Motor with the covers removed

Valve cover all taped and painted, black as the night!

The alternator cover all taped and painted, looking great!





The scarred metal looks great against the pristine new paint
Can't wait to sand the edges of those fins
Gonna be slick!
 *Update* 


We sanded the fins and it's looking incredible. Next step is to polish it up a bit with some super fine grit sandpaper



Sprocket cover has also been painted.
