hanly95 Posted March 24, 2010 hi i have a 1989 kawasaki kdx 200 and i am wanting to do some touch up paint work on the frame. my problem is that i can not find any where that sell it and for the price that i want to pay. does anyone have any idea where i could buy it? i already cheacked with pj1 paint and they no longer make or sell it. i would also like to know what steps i have to do before painting it beacause some people have told me that i have to prime it and then after wards i will have to put a clear coat on. thanks alot, shane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PAKDXYZ Posted March 25, 2010 It is going to be hard to match paint on a 20 year old bike, even if you find the "correct" color it probably wont look the same. But your best bet would be to take a piece of the bike(subframe etc.) to a local auto paint place and they have computer programs that can match it pretty close and they can mix some up and put it in a spray can for you. If it was me I would tear it down and strip and paint the whole frame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raldo Posted March 25, 2010 of course if you have a naked steell frame you gona buy a epoxy primer to make that paint styck into the metal,,,,,,,, but if you only have a sanded frame, you can go with regular primer like pepboys sells.....any questions let me know,,,,,, thats its my hobby in puertorico!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i paint moto frames atv frames,,,, and whatever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!etccccc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slick_Nick Posted March 26, 2010 DupliColor makes a green that's pretty close. It's their ceramic engine enamel, I think its called "grabber green" or something. It's a lime green anyway... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squeak Posted March 27, 2010 i wouldn't bother painting only part of the frame unless it is just to prevent rust and you don't expect a perfect match. i would paint the whole frame or just not worry about it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonah52 Posted March 28, 2010 Does anyone know where to get Kawasaki purple? Were looking to Draven up my dads 96 klx 250. I know it's the two stroke forum but anyone know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
