Engine Casing Paint - SV650.org

Hi guys. New to biking and I've got myself a yummy Yellow Curvy.
I was wondering though is there anything I can paint the BLACk part of the Engine casing with, as it is flaking off in some areas. ALSO, is there anything that can be done to the lower part of the forks, the casing part as that is a little chipped too.

CHEERS MY DEARS!

You can buy high temp engine paint from Halfords not sure on the colour match thouh

as for the forks you have a couple of things you can do

1, Polsh them, lots of people have done this but it does takew a bit of time to keep them looking nice and shiney

2, paint them, this is the option ive always gone for mainly cos i'm far to lazy to keep polishing them

3, just ignore them again one of my favourites
