Hi All- I want to paint my 98 a matte or flat black. I also want to paint some of the brushed aluminum parts like the triple clamps, sissy bar, speedo can, etc. I plan on owning this bike forever so I'd like the paint to last. I have a decent HVLP gun and air compressor with a good clean garage...

I've been doing a bit of work on the '85 over this summer, and the condition of the stock paint is starting to stand out as being the worst part of the bikes appearance... (Not that the bike's anything resembling cherry...) The pinstriping, some of which was 28 years old, and really worn out...

If you have some old part needed to remove the paint off of them you may try brake fluid DOT-3 - it work for me. It can't hurt to try it. No hand work no mass. I have a head light bracket that the black paint was scratch up a little that I was going to have it powder paint today but man the...

I want to re-do the wheels on my Z in a solid gloss black. I've been waiting until it was tire change time so I could do it while the tires would be off anyway, and now it's that time. Several people have recommended I get them powdercoated, citing better durability. However, of three local...

Need to paint all body panels, and scoops. Scoops and side panels metallic silver (scoops and airbox cover are made of carbon fiber), and a factory Yamaha color for the rest. Any ideas on what I should expect to pay?? Looking for nice, not multi-award-winning show quality masterpiece. Oem...

I'm thinking about maybe doing my scoops in this stuff. Super wet-look black 2k paint. That's some quick change at the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTxwPHSkzsg

I bought some VHT engine paint in the spray can, but I want to just touch up some spots. I was thinking of spraying it into a small dish and then using a brush to touch up, but what about bbq paint that is made for a brush. Has anyone tried that on the engine. I'm thinking the spray can might...

I took off my headers and they were super rusted. I sanded and made them pretty smooth and I'm going to paint with header paint. It's rated for 1300-2000 degrees F. It doesn't mention using a primer. Does anyone recommend priming headers even though can doesn't call for it? If so, should...

Since the arrival of 'Black Betty' from Bob Moore, I have been making some improvements, and one has been paint and pinstripe the side covers which has gone unsuccessfully. I cleaned, taped, primed, painted, then cleared the covers. The problem is the paint falls off. I can scrape it off with...

I've read articles and seen some nice pics where people used high temp spray paint. Just wondering if there is any high temp paint that can be used with a brush for just the small paint chips and hard to reach areas.

Hi all. Anyone recommend a good engine paint for my 2000 Max? It's in bloody good nick but just needs a wee touch up here and there. Also is it just classed as gloss or something else. Sorry if that sounds like a dumb question but don't want to F@#k it up.

I've been working on this paint job for the last 2 months. I have most of the tins finished, just have to do the stripping on the rear fender yet. This is my first airbrush work in 18 years. Let me know what you think, good and bad. I used the Duplicolor Paintshop system. Candy Base, Candy Red...

:bang head:Ok everyone I have some questions. I been looking to paint my engine & was wondering who uses what? It seems that brake caliper paint & engine paint are the same both rated for extreme heat. I want a nice gloss from the paint also being on a budget limits me ( some used the 2k 2 part...

I picked up my '86 max about 7 months ago. I paid $1700 for a mechanically sound bike that was missing a bunch of random small parts and was wreched cosmetically (spray bombed). I've slowly been getting the bike put back together properly and now I want to strip and paint it. I'm pretty set on...

I'm going to go over the engine and just touch up where there is scratches. Can I just get engine paint and retouch or do I need to primer the tiny spot first? Not sure if there is even touch up paint like there is with exterior of car paint that can take high temps. I can spray black onto a...

Excuse the piss poor photo shop... but what do you think about the change of color? I have had some tell me its too much black,what do you think?

I am wondering where I would get original paint for my 03 Vmax. It is a Matte black metallic paint (what I would call a semiflat). The paint is probably matte finish right out of the can. I would love to get a pint or a quart of it.
