Which paint for which part of his bike ?

There are very variable models of motorcycles, cross, road, racing... Depending on each style and configuration, motorcycle paints must be adapted, taking into account the nature of the support, its twists, its exposure to gasoline or splashes...

The paints corresponding to the various elements and parts of motorcycles, such as fairings, end guards, fork crowns, rims, cases, tanks and even windshields, are body paints. We are talking about quality paints, which is different from the products offered in mainstream stores.

You can see specificities from one piece to another and we offer the choice of different varnishes, but also several types of additives to mattify, to make it more flexible or to better resist the sun. We also present a summary of a selection of usable products, always in Spray or Pot format.

The two questions to ask yourself before choosing paints for motorcycle parts

What do we mean by “the nature and state of the medium”? This is a main question that a painter must ask himself before undertaking the sanding and the application of the various products: Nature: let's take the example of a tank, it is not metal. The support is "varnish" because it is what coats the surface that we are going to paint.

The state: this can be the state in which the part was found (rusty, painted, bare, blistered...) or in which this surface is after performing a mechanical action (sanding, sanding, pickling, scraping). From there, we will be able to choose the paints and primers to be made according to each element of the motorcycle.

If we have bare plastic, if we have rusty metal, painted fiber... We will have to do a preparation and apply a specific primer... We clarify all this, guiding you through of our instruction guides on which paint to use on which motorcycle part.
