imagineer Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Questions for any experienced body work or paint persons out there . . . I don't like shiny and I am thinking spraying the painted parts on my black Suzuki C90 with matte clear. I'm thinking of using Duplicolor Paint Shop Finish System BSP307, Matte Clear. I’m looking for a wash and wear finish that doesn’t call for wax.The gloss paint on my bike is in decent shape, but could use a good buffing (lots of tiny scratches). Last winter I painted the batwing, rear fender, hard bags and trunk. The tank and side covers and front fender are all OEM paint. Question 1: Is the Duplicolor paint shop line OK, or is there a better or recommended matte clear coat that is proven tough?Question 2: Should I wet sand or scuff pad the painted surfaces to prepare for the clear coat. If wet sanding is the better approach, what grit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

attackpainter Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Duplicolor is 1979 technology. It is still a laquer based product and offers no uv or stone chip protection. If you want the job to last and hold up you will need a 2 part clear with a flattening agent built in. I can reccomend a few if need be or i could paint it for less than you could buy the product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you ballpark a price to shoot semi-gloss clear on a set of tins?Batwing fairingFront and Rear FenderSide CoversGas Tank Side CoversMutazu TrunkHard side bags I'd bring you all the parts off the bike and pre-scuffed.

The forum is not letting you receive PMs and your email link doesn't work either. Edited March 30, 2014 by imagineer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
