I'm learning the ways, and quirks of the Yamahas now. Many different things from Kawasakis.
I'll keep your lurking in mind David.

I had to re-sand the tank but the final paint came out much better. I guess I've learned to sand, sand, sand paint then sand again. The professionallly done spray cans work much better than the CTC Paint Match ones. Now to wait a week and Debbie will apply the decals then another week and the clear.  |

Hi Jim They colour match and make up the aerosols at the Top Shop Auto Paint in Barrie. I also got the orange for H1B there.

What type of base coat did you get? I bought my paint from that place and the over spray was insane. It got everywhere. Did that happen to you?
I'm going to have to redo it in the spring.

I didn't find it too bad Dave. Their aerosols definitely have a wider spray area. Iused Dupli-color filler /primer then the spray acrylic enamel. Planning on 2K clear after the decals are on. Diablo say to wait a week to clear after the decals are on.

Diablo say to wait a week to clear after the decals are on. They sold me some kind of base coat. I think I should have got the acrylic enamel. Once it warms up I will go back and order some. I'm going to use the 2k clear as well. |

Debbie Steadyhand did the decals yesterday. Now just to clearcoat and add the Yamaha badges... She did it with the added pressure of very helpful advice from a hovering husband...  |

They has a huge colur catalogue with little cut outs. I took off a side cover badge to reveal the original paint and they matched it up perfectly. There were easily 500 different reds. They knew what they were looking for where I didn't see any differences.
They put the hole over my colour and matched it with the paint chip above and around the hole.
