Title: Engine Paint Question
Post by: Michael Hickey on November 24, 2010, 08:44:38 PM
Where can I find PJ1 # 17 BRLS? I tried googling it, but nothing came up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael

Mike,

it has beed discontinued for close to 2 years now, maybe even longer,
someone should chime in here with sutible knowledge of a replacement spray can manuf.

i remember Mike Winter telling me what he uses i think Dupli-Color, but we will have to wait for him to see this post and make a comment.

hope this helps,

regards,

Mike Gallagher, NJ.

Here is Mike Winters suggestions:
I personally like the Duplicolor DE1650 500° Ceramic Engine Enamel followed by a 2-3 light coats of Duplicolor DE1636 500° Ceramic Engine Enamel clear coat, applied while the base color is still slightly tacky. It is important to follow the directions closely, as this paint is very sensitive to humidity while applying. It is resisant to gas and oil. I have also used the DE1615 which is more of a shiny aluminum color for some components, like repainting rusty or dull kick start or shift levers.

Thank you for the answer regarding the paint. However, I do have yet another question. At this time I do not want to split the cases on my bike--but I do want to paint them. Can I use a paint remover in order to get rid of the old paint?

Thanks,
Michael
