THE MOMENT OF TRUE.

Forgot to tell you.  The cover of the ignition pickup is polished.  

As expected, after a bad mechanical job there is a worse paint job.


The paint is coming off when applying lacquer to clean the engine.



Once clean it looks like this.

VHT Engine Enamel  is a popular engine paint and it's chemically resistant to most gasoline and thinners.

Good stuff. I've used it.

I bought a couple cans of heat resistant paint.

Tomorrow I will do a test with the cover that houses the clutch pusher.

Just something to think about and do your research.

Some "High Temperature Paints" have ingredients to dissipate heat and some have ingredients to contain heat. Anything listed as an engine enamel will have properties to dissipate heat.
I've been doing a fair bit of research on "coatings" at  Cerrakote  and if you follow the "Shop" tab, then "Coatings", then go down the left side, they have a tab called "Special Attributes". You'll find coatings with either high thermal emissivity (the ability to give off heat), or low emissivity (the ability to contain heat)
KawaBCN, You have selected a high temp paint that has the ability to withstand 690 deg C. and that's in the range of exhaust header paint and I wonder if it's able to dissipate heat like what you want. You need a paint that will dissipate heat from the crankcase because there's no oiler  to cool the oil
