I use VHT Hi-Temp. Caliper Paint on my engines. It is rated for 900 degrees Fahrenheit and comes in several colors including gloss black,
matte black, gold and a universal aluminum that matches many factory silver engines.
Oil, fuel and brake fluid resistant after you bake the parts for a short while.

As all the bikes I've owned don't have stainless steel exhausts, I regularly treat the whole thing to a couple of layers of v.h.t paint, I'd avoid bbq paint as an engine or exhaust is very close to the maximum temperture that deals with & I've heard lots & lots of stories of people driving along in a plume of smoke as the paint is boiled off.

Also, the tin of Halford v.h.t paint has a fabulous smell to it.

Cheerz bud! I've been practising on a old engine and found out I had to use etching primer, as most of the engine is alloy, I'm running the "test" engine and it seems OK so far, I think the etching primer will hold up to the heat ,it has so far!!! I'm wary, as I wanna do the job proper!!!!!!! :azq
