paint

Hi, I hope I'm posting this in the right forum, I'm new to this. Here's the context: I'm an engineering student and I got bored of theoretical classes so I decided to get my hands dirty. I'm a crafty guy but to be honest I don't have much experience in engine rebuilding. A couple of month ago...

Well, I knew I had poor paint on the engine block after buying a bike from Delaware on an island off the coast and it arrive. I didn't realize that the PO or PPO had stripped the paint and it was various degrees of oxidation. I broke my shoulder not very long after buying the bike and then I...

Hey everyone, I found a radiator at a garage sale a couple of days back, it looked in decent condition and at the cost of a fiver I thought I may as well. It has certainly been repainted in what I assume is a VHT paint as it is matte black. I have however notices some small beading around it...

Hey y'all, this is my first post here. So I'll preemptively thank you for your patience as I learn how to navigate the forum. I picked up this CX500 on the relative cheap this past summer and have been riding around, getting used to it and what not. Now, that it's getting colder, I'm looking to...

I'd like to repair some spots on a 1982 CX500C Custom with the color scheme: "Cosmo Black Metallic" / "Gray Metallic". I've found the color code for the black (B-100M-U). Anyone know the color code for the gray? Also, does anyone know if there are off-the-shelf (rattle cans) of spray paint...

Getting my bike painted this month and I've been trying to decide on a color. Originally I was going to go with matte black, but I've been thinking it might be nice to stick to the dark brown but a bit more modern and updated. This is the only image I could find that conveys what I had in mind...

So, I recently picked up this 1979 CX500. I loathe the plastic front housing. The handlebars have too much of a pullback (With my long arms, I feel like I am parasailing at speed..) The paint looks nicer than it is. The master cylinder dripped on the paint on the non-photographed side. Runs...

When it comes to painting motorcycles, how much paint does it take? For the two tone bikes we have. will 1/2 pint do or do I need 1 pint of each color? Or perhaps 2 pints? Looking for recommendations out there from someone who has done a paint job. I do not really want to end up with...

Hi, I live in Shakopee MN and I am looking to touch up some areas on my CX500T. Mainly the leading edges of the fairing. Paintcodes are (from other threads) Pearl Altair White (500T) NH113PA Moonstone Silver Metallic(500T) NH114MU Thus far have only come across the following spot...
