Default Thinking about painting dash and fork lowers...

Ok, I repainted my bike over winter and did Planet Color Big Bad Orange Pearl with Black accents. I was thinking about taking off the dash and painting it with a wrinkle black, and doing the same to the fork lowers and possibly my strut covers. Has anyone done this? If so what problems can I expect when I do this? Any input would be great!

Plain ole enamel will chip easily on the lowers. You need epoxy or powder.

I was thinking about high temp wrinkle black engine paint. Do they make that in an epoxy paint?

We can powder then for you no problem! But please do not use high temp paint!!! That final cures in operation and will never get hot enough to cure. Will chip, flake, and crack
