Universal Textured Matt Black Spray Paint For Engines and all components.
To paint an engine you may need from two to 4 or 5 sprays, the quantity depends on how many components you have to make. You also have to consider that if we want to paint other parts of the bike we will have to buy an adequate number of sprays.
Remember that to paint a frame you need at least two sprays because on tubular components the paint disperses a lot and the quantity of product that is deposited on the support is small.
Here are some suggestions on how much to use depending on the type of engine you have.
Single spray for spot treatment or small objects
2 cylinder engine kit: 2 color sprays + 1 primer spray
4 cylinder engine kit: 3 color sprays + 2 primer sprays

Application
For a 1200 Sportster type engine you need two spray paints and two primers.
If you have a silver grey engine we recommend getting 3 of these.
This application is valid for both engines and metal or light alloy parts.
This paint attacks directly and without the need for primer, but remember that if you want you can still use it to avoid the formation of oxide over the years. Always consider that the paint has the ability to adhere to all metals but does not have anti-oxidant characteristics, so it can adhere but will not be able to stop the possible formation of rust or oxide in the long term.
1 Scrape off any rust if there is any
2 Scrape off old paint if it comes off
3 If the engine is bare metal clean it well with our aircraft cleaner
4 If the original paint is in good condition, scratch it lightly with 600 grit sandpaper and then 800 grit, dry or wet
5 Dry well and always degrease with aircraft cleaner
NB choose whether to apply primer. If you do apply a light coat and a full coat, stop 20 minutes and apply the paint afterwards without scraping the primer.
6 Shake the can
7 Apply a light coat of paint and wait 5 minutes
8 Apply a thicker coat of paint and wait until it becomes completely opaque, there is no precise time because it depends on the temperature of the place you are in. Let's just say that you will have to wait about 10 to 20 minutes
9 Apply another full coat and this will also be the last one
10 Wait 30 minutes and start applying sheer coats from a distance of 40 cm.
The rough effect depends on how many light coats you apply. The more light coats you apply, the rougher the surface becomes.
11 Wait 12 hours to assemble the parts and for it to be resistant to petrol
NOTE: the two full coats depend on who applies and one thing is certain, do not overdo it, because if you do, the paint risks drying badly. We always recommend that you do some tests first.
