Nice weathered effect on those engine casings
Mask, spray, dry, polish, enjoy.
Mask a rectangle. After it dries, then use scotch bright to rub off then go through your standard polishing practices. Mine is five step. Work your way up to a brilliant shine. Then on the final two stages actually buff the logo to look worn.
Use semi gloss HIGH HEAT BBQ paint.
PS clean logo really well first. Degrease and then clean with alcohol.
I do this on all kinds of metal engraved logos for car parts too.
Hi Guys,
Not a technical question, but one of a minor aesthetics nature. I have seen several images of 961's with the 'Norton Logo' and 'N' on the engine casing painted black; it looks very effective. Google 'Norton 961 Paint Scheme' and several will pop up.
Has anybody on the forum had this done?

Another option for paint is a product made by Dupli-Color called Engine Enamel with Ceramic. I chose Semi-Gloss Black # DE1635. It claims to withstand heat up to 500F and is resistant to oil & fluids.Mask a rectangle. After it dries, then use scotch bright to rub off then go through your standard polishing practices.
