2004 Suzuki RM frame paint

[ar2stroke]

Does anyone know if PJ1 still makes the Suzuki 'grey' frame paint or if it is available or a link to buy it?

 

Or the color in another source to paint it?

 

any help advice would be great

This fella did the frame in 'blue' old school, but thinkin want to go back with the 'OEM' color since I want to keep it looking more 'stock'.

 

Does anyone know if the powder coating is a pain if you had to have it redone like 'chips' that is why I always avoided it. Muchless having to strip it again...

I used color-rite which is an exact match to the OEM metallic grey

Thanks did you get a paint gun and do it yourself?

 

That is kinda the direction I am going, unless I can find a independent paint shop that will shoot it for me.

 

Do you know how much I would need by chance for 1 frame?

Did you mix the paint yourself or pay someone to paint the frame?

I used the aerosol can and sprayed it myself. 1 can should be enough. Be sure to prep it good and I would definitely use the clear coat over it. Otherwise it won't last long.

Where did you get the clear coat at?

 

That frame looked great, so you ordered the 1 can of color right and did you get the clear coat sprayed over it after the other dried?

 

thanks

Color-Rite also sells the clear. I didn't use it and wish I did, without it the paint stands no chance against MX.

I think I found it on amazon.com the paint in the can and the clear from color-rite as a package deal.

 

Just been so long since I have used any quality paints like this, use to in the past when I rode a lot. Now more of a weekend warrior or a 1 weekend warrior a month. Need to get a shot in my shoulder of cortisone from a older mx crash injury bothers me every so many years...

I think that is the correct one, and the clear is included. My RM250 is a low hour bike and the 125 I picked up had a few more on it so got it down to the frame right now. Fixin to get some parts ordered up, just kinda going through what I will be needing on it.
