Other forms of motorcycle paint

The different types of paint for "two wheels" and related products, used by professionals specializing in motorcycle paints, are classic body paints, although they are, it should be noted, a little more sophisticated and complex than those used in the automotive field. To have an overall view of the types of paint for motorcycles, they are divided into water-based paints or solvent-based versions: the two types are “almost” as effective but bodybuilders always have a preference for solvent-based paints, much less problematic and more sustainable, unfortunately for the ecology.

Fortunately, much less paint is used to paint a motorcycle than for a car, which justifies the exemption from the law enjoyed by motorcycle painters. To paint your fairings, tanks and mudguards, the manufacturers and designers have shown more refinement, with the search for more subtle and sought-after shades: they have allowed themselves a little more freedom in terms of colors, with the implementation of more complex layer systems called tri-layers. The limited size of the parts to be painted allows the juxtaposition of lacquers that are too difficult and risky to perform on cars.

Motorcycle painting in brief : the different stages !

If you want to learn about the profession of spray painting, here are the different products that we use to achieve the most beautiful shades. The finish that we see is the result of several steps and application of products that are superimposed like a mille-feuille. Each layer has a very special function: Thus, the primers and primers form the "foundation" of the work by playing the role of grip and preparation on the areas, the sheets and the plastic fairings.

Then come the different types of motorcycle paint, which are more and more beautiful thanks to Candy tones for example and which are inevitably more and more complex. The top coat is a transparent and glossy lacquer intended to protect supports and all types of motorcycle paint from external aggressions, in particular UV rays and bad weather. It is also the final touch, the icing on the cake, the way in which we will give the shine and the sublimation of the color, thanks to the shine and the lacquered effect.

Motorcycle paint in spray

Is the quality of the products contained in motorcycle paint in spray the same as the paints used by motorcycle bodywork professionals ? No, if we are talking about paintings sold in stores here and there. Yes, if when it comes to Stardust paints that use the same level of quality to fill those aerosols or jars. The level of craftsmanship can be easily indistinguishable between what was spray painted or what was “spray painted”.

Pearlescent motorcycle paints

Made with shades of translucent colors and microscopic flat particles of synthetic mica, pearlescent motorcycle paints have those ultra-fine and shiny reflections, very distinguished and subtle, which seduce the eye, when the rays of the sun strike on the varnish surface. More demanding to apply, pearl paints for motorcycles offer a wider spectrum of possible colors than metallic colors.

Tuning motorcycle paint

Choosing the necessary products, from the preparatory coats to the varnish, can sometimes be difficult and complicated, especially when it comes to body paint and special effects.... For this, we have concocted all the kits of tuning motorcycle paint, which saves you the work of composition, without error or lack of your basket to carry out the project.

Metallic motorcycle paint

Theoretically, metallic motorcycle paints are referred to as paints in which metallic pigments, more precisely aluminum, have been used. In practice, in everyday language, we have maintained the confusion between pearl and metallic, because it is true that many metal finishes are obtained with mother-of-pearl !

Quad paint

It is possible to create absolutely magnificent paint and decor on Quads, on the sole condition of knowing the techniques for preparing the plastics intended to receive Quad paints. These are unique processes, intended to ensure acceptable adhesion, very similar to the treatments done on car bumpers. Without these measures, the paintings would peel off in a few days.

Jet Ski paint

Three very aggressive elements subject Jet Ski paints to maximum wear factors: they are salt, sun and water. Fortunately, there are products that demonstrate technicality and solidity to be able to dress a Jet ski and personalize it, because, thanks to Stardust products, you can combine performance and aesthetics, with a huge choice of colors with effects.

Chrome effects for motorcycle paint

Do you have a daring plan which is to achieve full chrome plating of your plastic fairings? Do you want to chrome small parts, some of which will be subjected to engine heat ? The chrome effects for motorcycle paint are accessible at the price level and at the technical level because they are applied with a spray gun without industrial equipment. Discover simple or colored chrome effect paints.

Motorcycle paint primers

there are a number of bodywork products, each corresponding to a specific surface: To choose the necessary motorcycle paint primers, all you need to know is the material of the support to be painted. In addition to traditional primers, Stardust has designed translucent primers that grip while keeping the original appearance of the materials.

Motorcycle paint for plastic

In the same problem as those of quads, motorcycle paints for plastic attack materials that are particularly capricious because they are very flexible and do not allow any paint to adhere to their surface! Once the tricks are known and the very special treatments carried out on the parts of the fairings, then it is possible to paint literally any paint!
