Whats the current thinking on the reformulated PJ1? or can anyone recomend an alternative. After satin black smooth finish.

The new PJ1 is shite.
The nearest equivalent to the old PJ1 is Sperex/Simoniz tough back ( Both have same label ) or Wurth satin.
Don't be tempted to go near the Techcoat satin either as that stuff is awful and barely good enough for tagging never mind painting bike parts.

Thanks zed. Is it heat resistant? Need to repaint the engine on the J.

I use the sperex/simoniz on all my engines and other parts and it is fuel resistant once cured.
You can produce different finishes depending on whether you bake cure it or just leave it in it's air dried state.
Baked it can be lightly buffed with solvol etc to get the shinier semi gloss finish that's very close to the original finish on the kwak outer engine covers.
Look in my Zed racer thread page 6 onwards to see the results on the engine.
