              I seem to recall somewhere there is a thread/post suggesting that there is a Yamaha marine (outboard) paint that is almost a perfect match for the XT engine cases. Have a search...

              You don"t even need heat resisitant paint to do the engine as it doesn"t get hot enough , any paint you use on the downpipes will burn off .I have painted several bike engines and had no issues with the paint flaking .

         thanks, but does this include the barrel and head? I guess it doesn't get too hot, being watercooled, but I want to make sure before I start spending money on paint!

              Hmmm.......... I've heard of this, but never seen it on my X, even in total darkness! I have a digital temp. gun at work - I may borrow this & do some tests.
