Thruxton Engine Black

Black stove paint? Just an idea, never used on a bike engine, but works very well on a wood burner! Tidies up a scabby stove like magic and lasts through heat, usually matt though.

 

If you want to keep the engine in its current condition, I’d recommend a ceramic coating. There are several on the market which are self application, but for something that lasts 1-3 yrs, then I would go for something like Kenalon which must be done by a pro auto detailing specialist. I had my 3 series done As soon as it can form the dealership several yrs ago, and it came out looking amazing. Ive booked my TTR in to have it done later this year.

 

I understood it to be trim not the engine itself.

Been on for about 4000miles, still looks excellent.

 

Try using armour all , I used it on my 1994 Trident. It lasted several months between heavy applications and it would repel dirt ! You only had to wait till the engine was cool enough to touch and a light wash or hosing was sufficient to get it 90% clean , spick & span looking ! Had the bike six plus years and 160,000 km ... I've seen pictures of the bike on face book from the current owner , now nearing 300,000 km and still looking good ! New owner (2nd) also armour all 's regularly !
