MBK motorcycle paint 

You want to place an order for a paint from the manufacturer MBK, then go to the page below, you can select the packaging of your choice for all the color codes of European motorcycles, especially the color codes of motorcycles MBK.

We carry out a large number of MBK color codes and we fill aerosols or supply paint in pots. Ordering online is quick and easy. Simply choose the volume of MBK paint (from 0.25L to 1L), then send the code by email (info@stardustcolors.com).

To calculate your need, it's simple : you need 250 ml for a maximum surface of 1m² or a bicycle frame. For a complete small scooter, it takes 500 ml. To plan large, it is always best to order 1 litre.

The paints we prepare are from the family of solvent-based paints. This is the best possible quality, formerly used by bodywork professionals, before the advent of the new water-based "hydro" paints. They guarantee a long service life of approximately 20 years. They ensure extremely fast drying and ultra-thin coats. They are much easier to paint, compared to water-based paint.

Depending on the format we offer, they are delivered already diluted or pure, in this case with a diluent delivered separately.

The application of these paints of the matt base type to be varnished is done in a simple way. Even beginners in the art of spray or aerosol painting can easily achieve this type of painting. To paint them correctly, all you have to do is apply multiple very thin coats. Light coats are applied, until the optimum color appears and the background is covered. Then, we varnish directly which allows a perfect adhesion between the paint and the clearcoat.

MBK motorcycle color codes

When applying paint to a scooter motorcycle fairing, or a bicycle frame, you must always first make sure that the surface is perfectly smooth. There may be unevenness, which may be due to color layers, adhesive lines or logos...
When there are adhesives and logos, these are in generally present under the varnish. In such a case, it is necessary to sand the varnish to reach the adhesive, then with a dryer or a heat gun, it is necessary to heat this adhesive to facilitate its removal. Several coats of a primer can then be applied to fill and fill the "hole" left. Sanding will provide a perfect surface before painting.

Sanding is an important step. It should neither be too thin nor too thick. If it is too big, i.e. below 320, there will be visible marks on the paint. If it is too thin, i.e. over 600, then the paint's adhesion will weaken. The correct grit for sanding in the area of body paint is 500.

Depending on your MBK color code, a particular primer color may be recommended. And in this case, it will be necessary to order one of our 5 pot or aerosol primers: we offer 3 shades of grey, one white and one black.

It also happens that for certain MBK manufacturer colors, a specific undercoat is required. This type of MBK paint is called a three-coat paint. This consists of applying 2 different types of paint on top of each other, followed by a clearcoat.

The final phase is the clearcoat. This is the most delicate step, because its success depends on the final aspect of the shine. If too much varnish is applied, this can create drips. On the contrary, if there is a lack of clearcoat, a low gloss surface is obtained with defects called "orange peel".

The application of the varnish on an MBK paint must be done within a maximum of 30 minutes. Beyond that, it is necessary to sand the paint, which is not recommended on pearlescent and metallic paint.

The history of the manufacturer MBK

MBK motorcycles is a French manufacturer of motorcycles, scooters and bicycles. Its existence dates back to the year of its foundation, in 1924.

In 1924, the first prototype of motorcycles created by 3 partners came out. The workshop located in Pantin in the 93 at the time was called "the motobecanee workshops". In the years that followed and until 1930, several models were born with engine displacements gaining in volume to reach 300 cm³, with a still limited speed, since it did not exceed 30 km / h, to respect the regulations. in force at the time.

In 1929, the regulations were relaxed and the French manufacturer began to produce real motorcycles with displacements of 750 cm³. 10 years later, MBK will shine in several motorcycle races and several Grand Prix, just before the war and the adventure of motorcycle racing will stop naturally, until the post-war period.

In 1986, it was bought by the Yamaha group and therefore became a subsidiary of the Japanese group.
In 2002, it is still a regulation which comes to strike the small manufacturer recently acquired by the Japanese from Yamaha. It is now forbidden to manufacture mopeds and to market them.

In 2012, Yamaha decided to concentrate its production on the French site of Picardy and to close the Spanish factory located in Barcelona. Production will be relocated to Thailand after 2014 in order to limit losses and concentrate the group's activity on one site.

Apart from the original logbook of the motorcycle or bicycle, the information can be retrieved from the MBK brand dealer or from the manufacturer's website.
