Ceramic Coating

I'm toying with the idea of applying a ceramic coating to the paintwork on my bike. There seem to be a plethora of products of vastly varying prices available. Does anyone have any experience in this field?

Black oil

My '61 ES2, resleeved and bored to 40 thou only 250 km ago, has turned its new oil (GTX 30/50) black. It is not a heavy carbon black, rather like it has been stained.

Petrol?

Modern (rubbish) petrol, over a moth old. Can this be ascribed to running weaker than new stuff?

No guesses, maybes, or buts please. Any facts?

Desaxe engine?

Have Norton ever had crankshaft centerline offset to bore centerline? Called desaxe engines. A principle known and used as early as the thirties, maybe even earlier. Gaining popularity nowadays.
