Anyone try to touch up their factory frame paint? I have some where areas I would like to spray but I can't seem to find a match. Search didn't help. Anyone have ideas or know a good match for the factory green?

PJ1 or colorrite

Pj1 works great and is easy to apply. It's fumes however are strong so don't spray near a living quarter if you can manage it!

you can also find a cheaper version at walmart or home depot i forget if it is krylon or rustoleum ive used but its a great match

I used PJ1 on my frame and it matched really well. Here's the paint on Amazon - PJ1 KAW GRN PAINT 88-02

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll check it out.

Grabber Green is real close.

how many regular spray cans do you think it would take to respray a complete frame.
thanks mark

a bare metal, completely bare frame?

yes bare from media blasting.
i have 1 can of primer/green/and clear ready to go.
thanks mark

I would think 2/3/2, but I am not sure.

The color would be more light coats than the primer or clear.

I just finished frame paint and did 2/2/2 primer/color/clear. Doing a third can of color, like KDXG suggested, might be a good idea for some of the tighter spots or thinner edges.
Duplicolor engine enamel. Grabber Green on the color. Nearly identical to the plastics color. Found it local and cheaper at Advanced Auto. Around $8 a can if you order online and pickup or delivered vs in-store which oddly was a little more.

Take your time. I let it cure for at least 24 hours between primer, color, and clear. The directions say let it dry like 10-15 minutes between coats of same material.

Man. Looks good!

Looks great i will be very happy if mine turns out like that.
are the right angle gas tank bumpers still available ?
thanks Mark

Yes, OEM. Check RMATV or Partzila.

Part# 92160-1328
Price: $4.83

I also have a question on attaching those right angle dampers. Does anyone know what is the best glue to attach them to the frame? The original stuff was super strong.

thanks for the help.
cheers mark

That looks great!
Thanks for tip on Grabber Green. I also see it for $8.65 on Amazon.

When I did mine I used some Shoo-goo...basically rubber cement on steroids. Since the tank sits on them there's no chance of loosing one while riding really. I've never had them come off during any maintenance with the tank off and its been over 5 years

Thanks for the glue information. Will check it out.
