Title: Spraying fz1 frame.
Post by: brooker81 on 02 March 2015, 08:54:13 am
Need to do a bit of touching up on fz1 frame where the rear hugger has vibrated the paint off. I was wondering if Simonez satin Matt Black is a decent match (devilsyam says it is) Has anyone tried sparaying it i was wondering if the paint takes ok or should look at other options for sorting it out?

I bought some paint from RS Paints and sprayed my frame and swinging arm (2008 FZ1) and then lacquered them. Paint was a perfect match. I rubbed it down gently first with some 1200 grit wet and dry and it turned out perfect.


Paint was Cob Yamaha 20918 Power Black and Matt Lacquer.

Depends on how bad it is, I would try a small area first and dab it with a very small paint brush, let it dry and see how it blends in.

i did a couple of 'rubbing-spots'; i used etch primer on an artists brush and then a matt black spray paint I had hanging around (I spray a little into the cap and then load the brush lightly)
