Does anyone have a good match that will take the heat for the early H1 grey engine covers? Also looking for recommendations on classic looking tires in the correct size for my 69....Thanks |

I have an NOS cover that I took to the body shop and had matched and Cromax-94679 is to my eye an exact match. It's the paint used on this one I restored a year or so ago. http://kawi2strokes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=10948 |

My paintshop used "Moondust Silver Metallic" It's an original (European) FORD color. However, I'm not sure if he tinted it, or just used it right out of the tin. But I can find out, if needed  http://www.kawi2strokes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=11615&start=130 |

Also, most of the car paints have some metalflake in them, Kawasaki didn't, just grey. |

Harley makes a "silver" engine paint that a lot of guys use as a near perfect match... pricey though. And: "Mopar color called "Argent Silver" was very close" |

Different brands of Argent Silver (have not personally tried any of these): https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Mopar-P4529876-Wheel-Paint/dp/B000CIZZJG/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1489790650&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=mopar+Argent+Silver  https://www.amazon.com/PlastiKote-621-Silver-Argent-Wheel/dp/B0041DR028/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1489790650&sr=8-1-fkmr2&keywords=mopar+Argent+Silver  https://www.amazon.com/VHT-SP188-Argent-Silver-Wheel/dp/B000CPJLLW/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1489790650&sr=8-3-fkmr2&keywords=mopar+Argent+Silver

Thanks guys, that last VHB may do it. I think any autozone sells it. The silver harley one sounds interesting also. My bike isnt an oem resto, but rather a fun rider. I wasnt even going to paint smalls on the bike. But I got my body work back from my painter buddy and it makes the rest of the bike look like poo. Soooo.... |

Don't forget to use spraymax 2K over the silver so fuel doesn't eat it. |
