That colour reminds me of the "Midnight Blue" & silver 1st year CBR600 I had in the 80s. It looked almost black when the sun was in but it was very much a sparkly metallic blue in the full sunshine.
Blimey thats got some bling in the Red its certainly going to get some attention
I have a paint related question.
Can the matt paint that seems to be popular with manufacturers have gloss lacquer applied directly over it ? As an example, the Tracer GT in the for sale section with its matt blue.
Cheers.
Are you referring to the DT175?
Believe it or not, that's standard Yamaha Chappy red.
The short answer is yes ...... the mechanics of doing so are a little more complicated on a substrate that's been out in the world / cleaned / silicone sprayed etc.
But it's entirely possible to turn a matt bike gloss ...
The Other PaulG in particular will enjoy this one!
It looks a really stand out colour
Would it be quicker ,easier and get a better finish to just respray the tank all together ?
Whats the od Kwacker in for behind the Cotton in the last picture?
