Did my 600 mile change yesterday. Try as I may, I still ended up scratching the transfer case cover taking off my headers. Anybody used Krylon flat black to cover any scratched on the flat black pieces on their warrior?


I don't plan on painting my cover until I get new pipes. Right now you can't see the scratches with the stock headers on it.


Still bugs me knowing they are there on my new bike.

I must have missed something, but why did you have to take your headers off?

To fill up the transfer case oil. I had no "special" tools to unscrew the filler hole, so I had to take the pipe off. Once the header was off, I just used a washer to unscrew and screw the filler hole back on.

I would think a satin sheen would match better just from looking at the black paint on there.

Ive been using the Krylon Flat Black to paint various parts on my bike (grips, new shift levers, pegs, Tach Cowl, Lower Cowl, Mirrors, Headlight bezel) and I really like the look, but it doesnt match at all.

Ditto what rider510 said, go with the semi flat Krylon. I`ve used it, looks good.

There is a better method and it is listed somewhere on this site. Basically you spray with flat black, mist with Rustoleum black night metallic and then mist with flat blacg. It is a near perfect match.

This method works great. It's a perfect match to factory paint. Not hard to do either. Another thing you can do if the scratches are small is go over them with a black sharpie marker. Sounds stupid, but works in a pinch.
