Painting the starter moter

[padlock]

Hi all, Just going to set to repainting the starter motor. Does it have to be heat resistant paint or not. Cheers

Depends if your sprag clutch is knackered.

Hi,

I painted it with automotive paint. Didn't bear any damage from heat.
I even use to paint the Laverda logo on the (polished) primary and starter covers
with that stuff and never had any problems due to heat.

Don t use hammerite or staybrite if you get petrol on it from unattaching your hoses etc it will come off.

No it's expensive rubbish.

Hi Padlock, use ordinary paint. It's useful. If at anytime it starts to come off due to heat, you know your brushes have just de-soldered themselves!

Simoniz tough black is OK.
