fork lowers paint
« on: 04 May 2020, 10:39:26 am »
Hi i have the 2009 S2 FZ6.


im tidying up some bubbling in the silver painted fork lowers, fortunatley the area thats bubbling sits in between two natural narrowing areas of the forks, giving me a natural line to paint up to.
most people on fork lowers tend to go with hammerite soft paint, ideal for older fzs for example , but on the fz6 the paint isnt smooth its a bit rougher sparklier finish, has anyone found a sliver that is a decent match in both closeness of the silver colour and the style of none smooth finish?


TIA

Go to http://www.rsbikepaint.com/ and put your bike in there.

I got paint for the rear footpeg hangers which has the same sort of texture.
