    I really like Duplicolor engine enamel. Comes in gloss, low gloss, and flat black. I got very good results following their directions in regard to the amount of time between coats, etc. I've used it on cylinders (jugs) and valve covers, never the head itself. But I wouldn't think the head actually gets hot enough on the outside to need exhaust paint.

    bigfitz,

    are you able to paint any of these engine components without removing them from the bike?

    Thanks,
    Marshall
