Hi all, Happy Easter if your inclined to these things, if not than a happy Sunday! Jusy wondering if any of you have had any experience with touching up chips/gouges it the factory white paint on the tank? Is there a product I can buy that is similar to the chip repair paint pens you find for automotive type applications?
Thanks

Re: Paint touch up?
Use the paint codes below Shawn. I had NOS parts scanned to get the codes. They are a perfect match for Clean White and Chappy Red. I've used them on 3 sets of TZR bodywork, RZ500 bodywork and several TZR/RZ500 gas tanks. Any paint supplier can mix it for you. NAPA is always a good choice. They can mix as much or as little as you want.
You may find them in small touch up bottles where automotive parts are sold. I never looked as it's easer to just open a can.

The white is this touch up kit is spot on, the red less so...purchased a set end of last year.

Re: Paint touch up?
It's spot on it your bike is Silky White and Stormy Red. Canadian RZ500s are not.

Thanks John, a big help as always. I'll try to track some down this week.

Re: Paint touch up?
Is "Clean White" the same white as your TZR? Just curious? Also in your option how much paint would be needed to do a complete set of new fiberglass bodywork? Two pints?
Thanks John

Re: Paint touch up?
It is the same colours Shawn. Clean White and Chappy red for the Canadian TZR and RZ500. I scanned NOS TZR plastic to get the correct codes. It's perfect, at least when NAPA here mixes it. Matrix was used.
If you're painting both sides of all bodywork having 2 pints of white on hand would be my plan. You'd have paint left over, which is a good thing. You won't regret having it available later.

OK, that sounds like the plan. Thanks again sir!
