Do you mean the gloss casing covers on a 900R John :?:, or the satin finish on the engine itself........... or is it maybe some other sort of GPZ.

I think PJ1 was taken off
The market due to not being labelled correctly/ serious hazard!
Good stuff,just relable .

You can't get Satin Black any more that's correct.

I had these outer casings powdercoated gloss black. The rest of the motor was painted with PJ1 satin black.

I've been trying to find some ceramic engine paint in large sizes, but have only found this in cans from Duplicolor and another from VHT

http://www.duplicolor.com/products/enginePaint/

http://www.vhtpaint.com/products/engineenamel/

i did find somewhere in the UK that sells both but can't remember - googled it.
