Re: IP2 Engine powder coating
I've looked up the testresults from BMW. In average the temperatur of the cilinderhead dropped 20% with blackened cilinder and cilinderhead. Not bad!But BMW thought that their custumers would'nt like black engines, and so they decided to go for bigger and more fins.Groet, Jannes

I have found the colorcodes!For those of you who have a W2000 without the oilpump, the red petroltank has a RAL 3002 paint-number. Karminred!The frame has RAL 9006 as paint-number, or also suitable; BMW Stirlingsilbermetalic.Perhaps this is usefull for W2000 owners whitin our club!Groet, Jannes
