Simoniz "tough Black" Satin..

[Buttso]

After seeing the paint on this thread for the k75c.. I want it for my own

http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php?t=277419&highlight=k75c

I rang around and http://www.vinnybyrnestore.com/ are ordering it in for me...
in case anyone else needs it.. I know there are a few projects going on out there.

I know you could get it from fleabay.. but the postage was saucy in most cases (£8 per item and £5 for ever additional)

Better or worse than Smoothrite satin?

Not come across this stuff before, but I've had dome good results with smoothrite

Did you have those parts bead blasted before you painted them? I need to do my timing case, and powder coating is expensive. Might try painting like you did.
Thanks,
Damien

Hey Fanum..

hadnt seen hammerite's offering before... I must try that as well...

cheers


Yeah Omen I blasted these myself.. I have a small compressor.. and a shot blasting unit... made a blasting cabinet out of a barrel... I use garnet (non toxic mineral) to blast the parts.. works perfect..
apart from my frame and engine which I got blasted and Powder-coated.. I am doing all the parts myself..

I got a GS1200 engine front cover bead-blasted and powder-coated for £25 at a local wheel place.

Like the satin black look, though

Hammerite should be available at your local Halfords

Hammerite should be available at your local Halfords

I think DIY stores like B&Q do it as well, probably cheaper

I always use PJ1 satin - works well I made a blasting cabinet just using ply and an old car window and use glass beads. .... here's a photo of an XT500 engine I did using PJ1:

I'd love to say yes - but a mate knocked it up for me for an XS650 I rebuilt... worked well for several other engines since
BTW Horsepower.ie do the PJ1 paint...
