So the some of the paint is peeling off my 99 RoadKing heads and barrels. Thinking bout taping the fin edges and then painting with high temp paint and foam brush (to get between fins). Any suggestions, tips or comments would be appreciated. TIA.

Got a good tip for painting motor. First clean off any dirt, Get some flat black engine paint and spray the paint directly onto Q tips. They fit well between the fins. It may take a few coats to look good but it works good without much mess or masking. If you get a little on the fins just use a small piece of fine sandpaper to clean paint off. I've done this several times and it always holds up!
