when i dumped my bike this summer on some gravel and scratched the stator cover i had the same problem, so i threw some 400 grit on it to smooth it out. i heard of coloring it with marker so tryed that and it was glossy and looked like crap. but i couldnt match the factory color with a hi temp paint so i went to Autozone and bought flat black. i spent a little bit of time taping things off and basically repainted that side of the engine. it looks great and didnt have any problems all summer and you would never know unless you bent down and looked for it. hope this helps

 

I've never been able to find OEM matching engine paint.

Not saying it doesn't exist, however if you ever do find some, let me/us know.

 

The Graffiti paint color is the same as the engine cases.
Try colorrite.com

 

Any high temp flat black would seem to mach the most.

 

I went ahead and tackled the project today, and it came out alright. I couldn't get all of the scrapes out on the stator cover, but it isn't nearly as noticeable. Now I need to get some new fairings.

Anyway, here are some pictures of the process.

After paint...

It isn't a perfect match, but once the bike gets ridden and is exposed to dust and road grime I think it will blend right in. I may end up getting the graffiti paint and redoing it this spring.

there is a thread in the how to section that gives a pretty good write up on the subject

 

If you want to spend 200 you could just get the woodcraft stator cover and put it on there... They look trick!

 

They do look pretty sick. I may end up doing that, it'd only be around 300 for both the stator cover and clutch cover. :banger:

 

Dupli-Color Engine Enamel with Ceramic
DE 1634 Low Gloss Black

Best match IMO

 

Spudbud has a Vortex cover for $90... Just in case you want to go that route.
