2004 FZ6 engine paint
« on: 27 March 2019, 11:09:00 pm »
Hi Guys,
I'm thinking of repainting my 2004 FZ6 engine as the silver paint is flaking off.


I found a thread on this forum about someone painting a Gen 1 Fazer 1000 engine and was wondering if it's the same silver finish as my bike?


Here is the link to Amazon where he bought it.


[size=78%]https://www.amazon.co.uk/Simoniz-Very-Termperature-Paint-500ml/dp/B003VGNQX8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8[/size]


Also i have been thinking about repainting the silver sub frame as it's a bit rusty but not sure what paint to use?


Silver hammerite??


Thanks  :)

I was looking for paint for the footpeg hangers on my FZ6 and (after a lot of hassle) I found some see http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?topic=24586.msg285534#msg285534

I don't know if the paint I got would work for an engine, but hopefully this might give you a starting place :thumbup

Thanks for your help bud :)


I don't think that paint will be any good for the engine as it needs to be heat resistant.


but it should be ok for the sub-frame.....did you order the [size=78%]WB Yamaha 20211 Silver Sand?[/size]
