scotty97 Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Anyone know what paint is best for touching up the painted black frame on a 2007 sherco. I want to touch up the marks where the triple clamps have hit the frame and one or two other marks. i want to do it to protect the metal more than for the cosmetic looks, but obviously i dont want the paint to stick out like a sore thumb...

scotty97 Posted May 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I can only find one company in the UK that can get the Kry-lon semi black, but as it would be a special order, there is a minimum amount of 6 cans of the paint. Anyone know a equivalent of the paint thats available off the shelf in the UK??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copemech Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Well, it is not really a special color, it is black! P\The thing about it is that it is not glossy or totally flat, but in-between. Surely there must be somethins off the shelf that is close like barbeque paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how much the pots are, but might be cheap enough to buy a couple, just thought...why not try poster paints, I'm sure there's an enamel type.

basher Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 correct me if im wrong but the tripple clamps are aluminium so if your doing it to just protect the material i wouldnt bother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty97 Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Yeah, the frame has a few marks, not the triple clamps. I like the idea of BBQ paint, i think i'l give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
