Paint disaster / new colour

<< < (3/15) > >>

DomP:
I'll get a quote first I think, I had my xs done by ultimate bike paint for £350 a couple of years ago

Honda enthusiast:
Guys whatever you do don't be tempted to spray 2k at home without a tried and tested air fed mask setup...for that you need a powerful compressor and a professional air fed mask...an alternative is to get your prep, primer and base coat on, put the decals on and get a body shop to spray the clear coat in 2k on the next day at the latest as the base coat changes shade slightly if left uncoated with clear....the previous coats can all be in cellulose which can be sprayed in ventilated areas with a carbon mask and eye protection....
I have sprayed hmg nisocoat clear on the RGS which is a fully hardening non isocyanate 2k clear...it's difficult to spray at home as it's so thick [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Thanks for all the tips and info, much appreciated!

We are getting quotes locally, and two questions:

What is the paint code for the black, seemingly from CB500, which my bike most likely is?

Also how do you remove the tank badges?

Bryanj:
Tank badges have pins on the back that go into clips, or they do till they break off and get glued on.
Remove by sliding a thin flexible knife between badge and tank and levering carefully(both ends!).
As to colour Honds did not use standard paint codes at that time so whatever it is wont help
