Touch up paint

(1/5) > >>

exvalvesetdabbler:
Any one know if there are any commercial touch up kits that are a close match to the CB400 F2 red.  Managed to pick up a small stone chip about 1.5mm diameter on the tank last weekend.

This has exposed bare metal so needs something on it very soon.


This tank has OEM paint so are there any compatability issues with off the shelf primers if I were to use U POL Acid #8 as I happen to have some lying around.

thanks
Dave.

Menno:
Is that the light ruby red or the darker metallic red (Candy Antares red)?

If it is the light ruby red just take the bike to a paintshop and they can match that.
Either with a matching card or with a read-out paintscanner.
They can make you a small doses to help you out.

If it's the candy antares red.... well it is not really possible to touch up candy.
Maybe you could try to do the same with a colourmap as above. The read-out paintscanner will probably not work on candy anyway (Not sure) since candy is build up out of different layers.

Maybe, if the damage is realy small, simply touch up with clear coat.....

If it's F2 it will be Candy Antares Red Menno

Its the  candy antares red.

The chip is so small, any red that's close enough should do, If I can't find anything then I have some clear coat from a car touch up pen.

Thanks
Dave
