Why would you want to do that?? It looks like sh*t

It looks like rubberized undercoating which is ****ing nasty when it gets warm (it's like tar)

It could also be truck bed liner in a spray can. Either way it looks like hell.

Any high temp paint should work. They also make aresol can of car engine paint that would work.

Any high temp paint in spray paint should be fine, however, I would use dupli-color just because they make a good quality paint. But it looks like you have a lot of cleaning to do first. I would bring the bike to a power washer, buy some degreaser and soak it down really well and let it sit for 5 minutes, then spray the crap out of it. That should get most everything off, including any loose paint. I might even be inclined to take a hand held sand blaster (they are only like 20 bucks), and sand blast everything first. the only difference is you will have to really seal everything up so no sand gets anywhere.

Its going to look terrible unless you prep it right. And, being that everything is exposed like it is, I would take the time to make sure its prepped the best you can possible do.

Duplicolor Engine paint is good stuff but I don't recommend doing it like that guy did. Take the engine out and spend a little prep time. The first pic you posted shows that who ever painted that only did the cover. If you're gonna do just the cover take it off the bike and don't do a half assed job and cover have of the cylinder part of the block,

Just my $.02

+1 , ive had great luck with duplicolor engine paints , however , i would rather see a greasy , corroded lookin bike than a halfass paintjob...taking the time to clean and degrease ,tape off everthing and not painting hoses and over dirt is a must...JMO bud
