Sanding block would require more elbow grease , but would offer way more control.
Note: they do make a engine clear coat.......
That's what I was wondering. I just repainted and baked my engine cases with ceramic high temp. paint, and had that thought, too. They do have a lot of different colors.

well, since the idea of some ceramic paints and coatings is to hold the heat in I wonder if the paint is enough to effect the cooling of the engine - contemplated going the other way on the '02 as no what I do it runs hotter by as much as 10c than the '95

Depends on the ceramic material composition.....
There are ceramic's that actually transfer heat. We have a set of Corning fry pans & pots at home that cook nicely. I work for a computer chip company and the high power stuff is assembled on ceramic material for dissipation (also at a much much higher material cost than the polymer material).

I have a can of engine clear enamel.
I had indeed planned on using that over the ceramic high heat matted black the I painted the engine with.
I'm hoping it will make it easier to clean the engine after a rainy day.
That particular clear coat is only up to 500 degrees however. Do you think that's enough?

Boy, I didn't see this one coming...I thought we hashed all this "heat/paint" thing in another one of the Savage Woman's topics

I have an idea...why not just paint a small part of one of your cases to make sure you like it...did you paint your front pulley cover? That would be easy to undo if you wanted to...just a thought.

Exactly. I once worked as a toolmaker in a plant that manufactured ceramic
insulators

Yes I did paint the front pulley cover. The funny thing is that it doesn't really get all that hot. Not like the fin area. So the enamel should be fine on that part. I'm going to try it, if it peels off I'll just scrape it away.

I pretty sure the black can turn gray as the chemicals breakdown.... the clear can go yellow'ish ..... especially if you spill gas on it while it's warm (experience from my son's Honda SL 70...
)

That's what I wondered. If that is sprayed all over the engine and needs to be removed, it would be quite a job.

Too late now!
I did coat it in the clear enamel, and boy does it ever look nice!
I've let the engine idle twice so far. Once for 5 minutes and once for 10. I'll do it a few more times each a bit longer. It should be cured pretty soon. Hopefully dirt will wash off easily now.
