- 1). Remove any hang-on parts from the motorcycle that are not to be painted. Hang-on parts include the gas tank, carburetor, seat, and plug wires.
- 2). Clean the engine with soap and water to remove any dirt and grim on the engine. Let it dry thoroughly.
- 3). Using masking tape and newspaper, cover all engine parts that are to be left unpainted. The rocker boxes and push-rod tubes should not be painted.
- 4). Apply a light coat of paint to the engine using a spray gun and aerosol engine paint. Let the paint dry for several minutes then apply another light coat of paint. Laying the paint on with several light coats will prevent runs in the paint.
