For motorcycle painting, the painting system is always in at least 2 steps :

• Paint

• Clearcoat

In addition, a specific undercoat can be added in the case of a special color called 3-coat. In addition, a base color is usually recommended. Most modern motorcycle colours are not completely opaque and it is advisable, to obtain the best result, to apply a primer.
This not only provides a consistent background colour, but also levels and prepares the background, removing minor surface defects. Find this product at the bottom of the page, Just like the clearcoat.

How much paint should I order to paint a KTM motorcycle ?

In general, KTM motorcycles have a limited amount of surface, with a tank, covers, and guards, which represents a maximum of 1.5 m².
The yield or the general coverage of our KTM paint is :
1L ready to use for 4 m²
1 aerosol spray = 0.4 m²*

* Aerosol sprays are still the least economical method of painting because most of the volume of the aerosol is gas.

To paint your fairings, here are the different important or optional* products you need :

• cleaning thinner*.

• 500* abrasive papers

• degreaser*.

• sticky pad*.

• primer

• clearcoat (imperative) : See bottom of page

Do you need a primer ?
