Engine Paint
« on: 25 February 2014, 09:57:11 pm »
Its finally happened, the engine paint on my '05 Fazer 1000 has just started to lift.  I guess I'll be doing some research to sort out suitable touch-up paint.  The areas affected are very small - in fact too small to spray - so I'll need paint that can be applied by brush.

RS do touch up paints that are applied with a small brush , the touch up paints are only good for very small areas , if when you rub and remove the loose paint and the area is a lot larger , then the simoniz very high temp spray paint is good .

Thanks for the heads up.  I am looking at two areas each less than the size of my thumbnail.  I'll check RS out.

Will do.  The paint arrived today but I'll probably wait for slightly warmer weather.  When it's done I'll post up some before & after photos.
