Ever since I touched the BMW R60/5 cast aluminum parts, I knew I had to coat them with a product in order to protect them from debris and chemicals. I was looking into plating, anodizing and many paint coatings, but most companies didn't recommend their products for my specific application.

The engine is probably one of the most important aspects of this motorcycle restoration and I want it to stand out. After searching online for a specific coating I landed on Cerakote's website.
I've heard of them before, but I never had the need to opt for their product. After communicating via email about their products, I was advised to use their C-Series Cerakote. This is an air-cure product and it offers great durability, but it also allows heat dissipation which is perfect for the 600cc air-cooled BMW engine!

With all that information it was still up to me to choose the color and I must say: IT WAS NOT EASY! I was deciding between "Satin Nickel" and "Glacier Silver".
In the end, I chose Glacier Silver as it looked like the closest match to the brand-new aftermarket valve cover from EuroMotoElectrics.

After ordering my first pint of Cerakote I decided to walk you through a quick step-by-step video. Not only is this my first time using Cerakote, but it's also my first time using an airbrush! You'll probably be able to tell in the video...
