stringman Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 As the title says Has anyone sprayed part of their bike with aftermarket spray in phantom blue? I bought a 2 part spray in phantom blue https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185299647241?var=693077120323 I sprayed my handguards today, 2 coats of the base coat ( black) and 3 of the topcoat (blue) And whilst it is similar colour and (probably) ok for the guards I wouldnt be happy if it was a touch up to the tank for example. It seems much darker than the bike. I am hoping the lacquer will blend it in better. But I wondered if anyone else has had some better luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member Heli ATP Posted May 21, 2022 Supporting Member Share Posted May 21, 2022 I tried it with a beak on my FJ-09 and it was very close but not perfect. Hard to get an exact match unless you are a pro with the proper gear.. Beak paint I use ColorRite for paint. ColorRite Post some pics of your Matte paint job.

stringman Posted June 6, 2022 Author Share Posted June 6, 2022 At long last I have some pics. Not very good ones. Its strange but in some lights the match isnt to bad in others it might as well be a different colour. I will see what they look like when they are fitted to the bike, if all else fails I will just paint them black! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stringman Posted June 7, 2022 Author Share Posted June 7, 2022 So they dont actually look too bad. If I had paid someone to do it I would not be happy but not too bad for a home attempt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member Kenny A. Posted June 7, 2022 Supporting Member Share Posted June 7, 2022 If that was my bike,I'd be happy with that. 👍 2019 900 GT, 1969 Honda S90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringman Posted June 7, 2022 Author Share Posted June 7, 2022 Yeah, to be be fair, separate panels and every panel looking different I am. Just not factory perfect lol. To add the the stress some scrote has damaged my tank and although i have this paint i know the match wont be good enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringman Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 But then to be fair I spent most of the 90's and 00's lining up and colour balancing video walls so I am pretty picky on colour differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
