Trouble with fuel tank paint around filler

<< < (2/2)

UK Pete:
Ashimoto, has  the name of a good painter who sprayed his Bike bits Ruby red, the guy also found a modern auto paint that matches extemely close to the original Honda candy, i will probably get in touch with the guy to find out about what paint he used and get some myself, as i intend to spray up a spare bodywork set for mine one day

RS paints do a non-hazardous 2K rattle can of clear lacquer, which is, in my experience petrol 'proof' as opposed to resistant.  It isn't cheap......but it's very handy.  I don't understand the 'science' behind a 2-pack paint being in a can & not "going-off" but it doesn't.   

In my experience it is 'many' times better than the 'High Street' petrol-resistant lacquer, which I have found to be very 'thick' in application & not to actually do what it says on the 'can'.

The RS lacquer is not however, resistant to the blown-back 'mist' from a leaking front brake piston seal  :-[

No need to ask how I know ::)

Use Dot 5 silicon brake fluid, it does not attack paintwork - pricey at approx.
