Timing Chain Cover

[Jimamiah]

My timing chain cover has an area about the size of a quarter where the paint has been chipped off. I'm thinking about having it powder coated but I'd like to find another cover (preferably used) to have coated and then install it. I've googled used goldwing parts without any luck. Looking for ideas! I have found several chrome stick ons but that does not interest me. Got help? Thanks

Go to color rite and get a can of paint and spray it that would be the easy way to go my friend.

shortleg has it right. Get the ColorRite. Best match going. If yours is the matte gray, here's the one you want.

I will save the info on Colorrite because I'm sure it will come in handy at some point. Do you get it from the dealer, on line, parts house or paint store? Thanks

Colorrite.com will get you there.
Just to let you know 50 bucks is a good way to go.
Have powder category wheels and that's the way to go.
Would have cost you about the same to paint it.

Not saying that this was the cause ...

However, I have seen this before and there is a possibility that you ran over some brake fluid that a vehicle leaked on the road. If there was a small pool of brake fluid at a intersection and you plowed through it, it would have splattered on this cover. Just saying. Brake fluid eats paint and it doesn't take much.

I wondered if something (chemical type substance) may have leaked down or been thrown up from the road....

WOW, I am very happy with the way it turned out. I had the 12 attaching bolts and the 6 bolts that attach the cowls done as well which was a few more buck. All in I have $75 dollars in it and no regrets. Now I'm on a mission to get it back together so I can ride but I have one obstacle in front of me, I promised the wife that I'd prep the garden today. (I like fresh veggies from the garden).

Update - After removing the cover and inspecting it there are several areas that the paint seems to be bubbling and I decided to take it to the shop and have it powder coated. My guess is that it didn't get treated and cleaned before going to the paint booth at the factory so it's a $50 investment that I'm happy to make. I'll post after pictures when I get it back.Timing chain cover.JPGtiming chain cover edges.JPG
