Engine paint.
Im pulling the bagger apart for a bunch of winter work. Alot of paint is missing from the jugs & primary case. What is the best paint to use so it stay's on???

When I bored out my 98 Super Glide I bead blasted the jugs and heads and used a premium high temp engine paint.I cured it in a welding rod oven set on high for a couple of days. It still looked good when I sold it 7 years later

It's expensive, but HD 'sells' their engine paint. I use it on shovelheads and used it on the wheels of my 78 FLH in the pic, when I restored them. I have had good success with it over time.
A tip - when it begins to dull over time, a qwik spray with "Pig Spit" re-brightens it.
J&P also sells an engine paint, but I have not tried it first hand, so not sure if it is the 'same' stuff in a different can or not.
EDIT: As with ANY paint job, the prep is as or is more important than the finish.
