Have primary cover off for starter replacement. Thinking about paint black. Has anyone done this? Is it not worth the time ? O2 M2

You get what you put into to it. A lot of prep work and quality high-temp paint will get you far, but remember that your foot will be kickin' along this thing all the time, so you may end up stripping it off when you get tired of touch-up LOL. Powdercoat's best.

Kind of what I was thinking. Did paint my rims took alot of time and they still look good. Put with the shifter the cover will see more abuse.

Damn! Just had my black primary off for a week. Always wanted polished.
You may be able to find a black primary cover on eBay or at an MC "junkyard".
