Frame paint

[Pinky Winky]

I need to know if the frame of the busa has a special paint on it. I got my new boots in and went riding last sat night and i was looking at the bike just now and noticed that theres paint missing on the frame on the left side where my foot goes. I started looking around and noticed that that boot has a screw on the side of it right there. Not cool. So I fixed the screw thing and now I need to fix the paint thing. So I need some input. Thanks


Well now its even better. The right side has some scratches on it also. Grrrr!!!

do you have pics? is it your rear set or your frame.

Looking closer at it, its both the rear set and the frame paint that is scratched all to hell.

I know my stock rear sets had a coating on them but over time my shoes have pretty much polished mine all shiny and I know the frame is coated in something to help keep it from oxidizing

What year is your busa? If its 07 or older, there is no paint, just clear coat over the aluminium.

its an 04 red le with the black frame. doesnt look like clear coat since its black paint.

Oh Sorry broI guess i forgot about thoughs, Well i doubt its paint in any case, prob powder coat.

I forgot about the LE's its not frame paint its powdercoated but I am here to save the day go to Motorcycle Paint :: Touch Up, Aerosol & Refinish Paint - ColorRite the have all the touch you will need for the perfect match to fix. Powdercoating should not have done that are you sure this is an LE and the someone just didnt paint the frame(if used that is).

Rearsets painted with some cheap thin coat of silver paint. Easily scratched. Very easy to sandblast.

No paint will ever withstand metal screws. Only powdercoating will. I have Gaerne boots with metal screws and mine rearsets look like crap in 2 days. after i powdercoated them black... no more visible scratches.

LE and 08 busa frames are powdercoated with cheap crap powder and can be scratched easily.

You can touch up with regular paint.

Damn crappy powdercoating. Ill try and paint over it with some rattle can but I have a feeling its going to look like crap now.

Hey bro, i wouldn't try rattle canning it ::9 At best spray some of that rattle can(i would use satin blk) into a little cup or the cap, and then take a small paint brush, and "dab" the scratches ONLY(will take a few "coats" do to rattle can paint is very thin), then you can use some paint thinner to wipe excess off frame.....should match alot better that way
BTW, i've used this trick before on my 70 Chevelle, and well.... ya, kinda oakie , but worked rather well!

Ill try it and let yall know how it turns out.

Paint stripper and sandblasting after that.
