Want to paint my pulley cover to match the silver engine color.

This is a fiberglass one from Air-Tech.

Any suggestions for economical matching color?

Like silver hi-temp primer in a spray can?

Anybody ever had to 'touch-up' a silver engine? What worked well?

This is for tube-framed, year 2000, model M2.

Harley makes a paint (in spray can) called "silver bead blast" part #98606BY.

I have used it on several projects that have included rocker boxes, cam covers and case covers.

It holds up very well, I have even spilled fuel on it with no ill effect. I do believe proper prep and application are very important to end result.

FWIW, when ordrering this product at a dealership, give them the part number, because most likely they will have no clue what you are talking about if you ask for it by description.

Also,

Forgot to mention it is a perfect match to the stock silver cases.
