top coat

[baldybongo]

Hi all, me again. I just sprayed the bike Satin black, looks nice. Problem is I cannot get hold of a Satin finish Topcoat/Lacquer anywhere to protect the tank from petrol spill. (Would prefer aerosol)
Does anyone know where I can find a supplier of Satin finish topcoat or could anyone suggest a suitable protective finish I could use?
Thanks again in advance. Nearly there. :)

i used satin 2k clear on my gsx, any paint suppliers should be able to sort you out.

Thanks for the replies fellas, I found a site through google...Paints4u.com
Bought two 1k aerosols for £15. Their other paints and stuff look a fair price.
Should be with me for the weekend, lets hope we get some good weather.

but its only 1k...the moment you spill fuel on it its gonna melt away...
on a tank you need 2k..
there are some 2k rattle cans of topcoat on ebay..:thumbsu::thumbsu:

Last month I painted my VN in satin grey and a mates VN satin black .
I Used 2K Top Coat with a matting agent added to the final coat . Bloody 'ansome and fuel doesn't touch it , And its had a chance when I dropped it off the ramp removing it from the van :o
Wiped the spilled fuel off and she was back in the game :thumbsu:
