BANSHEEMANIAC Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 i used silver wheel paint on my frame. looks pretty close to factory color. not sure about the red though. Quote
kubiac3 Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 Theres a paint company out that sells paints that match exactly to your bike. There called PJ paints or something, your dealership should carry them. They are spray cans. Quote
Mullet Man Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 (edited) yep, RMATV has the PJ1 paints in their catalog... Edited December 10, 2006 by Mullet Man Quote
okbeast Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 If you really want it to look nice I would recommend taking the arms off and sanding them a little, then clean them off really good with some soapy water, let it dry off real good, spray on a few coats of primer, then paint. This wouldn't really take that much more work and would help the final result last longer! Quote
