I just got this Tri-Z jug, YTM jug and YTM head back from the machine shop. I want them shiny black, but they are made out of aluminum and I know you can not use regular engine paint on aluminum. Give me some ides you all. I really want to get this back on the trikes as soon as possible.

Powder coat. Tougher and lasts longer, also withstands heat well.

If I may say so... powdercoating might be too thick
and cause over heating problems. Your best bet is
an etching primer(usually applied thin) followed by
some type of high heat gloss black(thin as well).
Just put enough paint on until it is covered.
Just my two cents, your mileage will very. Goodluck.
Hope it turns out for you.
