COLORITE OEM SPRAY PAINT '99-'03
Posted: 10:19 am Mar 12 2021
I have been working on the sweet '99 I got from from woodselec. While Im doing a rebuild on the motor, I decided to freshen up the frame in some spots that were rusty and worn. Weather was around 60 degrees and sunny. I cleaned up the rusty areas with some light sanding and used 2 coats of Rust Oleum Metal Primer, before hitting these areas with the paint. Be careful as the green has changed slightly in the final years. I did confirm this was the correct match for this model year. There is a slightly different color used after those years, (maybe the Oracle knows?). I can say with confidence that this matches perfectly to the '99-02 OEM Kawi green. Im aware many of you guys do the whole powder coat thing, but it was way too much $ for me to consider with this build. i have already got the cylinder Nikasilled (Powerseal!), and waiting on some back ordered parts to complete the bottom end. I plan on using some frame guards to hopefully make to last a while. Anyway you cut it, boots will wear these areas down so keep that in mind. I paid around $22 for 1 can. A little pricey but it matches Im good with that. If you wanted to do the whole frame I would prob get at least 2 cans. I dig this KDX green!!!
