We produce Aprilia motorcycle paint in a professional solvent-based version, in cans or sprays.
It is a « 2-coat » type of paint or also commonly called « 1K basecoat ».
It is a monocomponent paint, very thin, easy to apply and quick drying.

• 1K basecoat means 2 coats : paint + clearcoat

1K basecoat type paints have to be varnished.

How much paint should I order to paint an Aprilia motorcycle ?

It is necessary to count approximately
1L ready to use for 4 m²
1 aerosol spray = 0.4 m²

The difference between our paint offers.

We offer :

• small formats in already diluted paint, ready to be painted

• aerosol sprays* of already diluted paint, ready to use

• Pure paint kits with thinner separately

See the details of the offers in the summary at the top of the page

* Aerosol spray still contain 75% gas, so if you have a spray gun, it is always better to choose paint in a can rather than aerosol spray paint

What else is needed ?
The cleaning thinner*
500* abrasive sheets
degreaser*
Sticky pad*
Primer
the clearcoat (imperative) : See bottom of page
* Optional products

Which primer should I use?

Motorcycle paints are often pearl paints and are therefore semi-opaque. This implies that they need a specific and homogeneous background colour.
In general a grey primer is recommended.

If your colour needs a black or white primer, or a specific colour, or a 3-coat paint*, then our colorist will contact you to propose this product.
