I painted the center cases, cylinder and cylinder head with PJ-1 satin black engine enamel then cooked everything at 300 degrees for half an hour. I powder coated the clutch and ignition covers with Eastwood satin black powder which was a good match with the PJ-1 and also very durable. Everything turned out pretty good.
