All the best

Total waste of time because the sunlight will eventually bleach the colouring from it and that's with all anodised parts.

You're best to get it powder coated as it will not fade and it's excellent in preventing rust too.

i have to disagree there,here are the forks on my old bike and i think they look good and the anodizing didnt fade at all.

Can you power coat the engine casing? Or will it not be very good with the heat etc?

I'm only really after black as the standard alloy look is getting tatty now.
