Repaint.

Post by Stugss » Thu Jul 16, 2020 10:37 am

Guys can you help me out with a question. I am repainting mine silver. No not another question about 13L.. The tank decals and side panel badges also the choke etc stickers. Were they all placed under the clearcoat or is it just the tank? Mines been painted so many times I haven't a clue.

Hi, when I had my 250 Kat professionally re-sprayed the sprayer said that from the factory only the tank had clearcoat over the stickers, he said that the side cover stickers, along with the choke and black lines on the covers were left bare just to save money at the factory and asked if I wanted all side cover stickers clearcoated, in the end he could only spray gloss on the side panel sword stickers as the choke and black line transfers were too thin and coating them wouldn't look right, it's up to you really if you want the bike to be 100% original, personally I think the side cover badges look better with clearcoat on them, and the stickers won't fade or curl at the edges :)

Awesome thanks buddy. I’ve looked at so many photos trying to work that out!
