Ducati paint mixing :

Ready-to-use versions 250 and 500 ml : stir, apply.
Pure versions : add 70% V1 thinner

QUICK APPLICATION GUIDE :

The application is fast and simple. It is especially important to prepare the support well before painting and to work in clean conditions.

1/

In most cases, paint is applied over an old paint or clearcoat, without necessarily applying a primer*:

To ensure the adhesion of the paint, perform a light but thorough sanding, with a sandpaper 800 and water. Rinse and dry.
Degrease (fingerprints, silicone, glue or grease) : With our degreaser, soak a wiping paper and clean the entire surface of the part. Immediately, with a dry wiping paper, wipe the residues of degreaser, without waiting for the evaporation;
Just before painting, pick up dust on the part with our sticky wiping pad, without pressing.

Paint :

Often, paint can be applied directly, regardless of the existing background color ; However, it is recommended, and mandatory for some three-coat clear paints/pearl motorcycle paint/complex, modern colour, to apply a uniform background colour (white, gray, dark gray or black) : Check out our Stardust Fast primer at the bottom of the page. This primer is very thin, does not require sanding, and is covered directly with the paint.

2/ The paint

The paint is applied with a spray gun (medium nozzle of 1 to 1.4 mm with a pressure of 2 to 3 bars) at a temperature of about 20°C

The paint is applied in 2 or 3 thin coats, respecting a sufficient drying time between each coat (2 to 5 minutes depending on the temperature). You can make a last thin coat with a little more distance from the aerosol spray or the gun, from the support to « melt » the shade.

3 / Varnishing

The varnishing is the final step giving the shine and enhancing the beauty of the paint work. You have 15 minutes to prepare your clearcoat mixture. It is important to varnish before thirty minutes in order to preserve the adhesion between the coats
We offer a range of excellent motorcycle clearcoats here
