No clear coat. Aluminum motor paint on the crankcase (duplicolor) and VHT barrel paint on the cylinders. The VHT paint is not gas proof regaurdless of what they say so be careful with and fuel leaks you have. The paint will wash off. the aluminum holds up well but chips easy.

This is a great idea for both the stand and your block off system. I am about to clean up my own xs650 project in the next month and I am going to use this idea.

I will clean or replace the filter, check the oil pump, do some paint and polish then get ready to put it back together. This one will get new pistons and... More
