Y9H paint available in as a can? Is it 2 stage paint?

Hi again, i've read in a few places that the Y9H paint is a 2 stage paint. I've finally found a seat cowl off ebay but sadly it is silver and my bike is Pearl yellow.

First of all is it possible to get the paint in a can and if so do you know where i can get it.

And secondly if it is a 2 sage paint does anyone know what the first stage paint is?

Its two stage as its a pearl. Pearl Lively yellow.

The first stage is a white colour, and the second a very thin yellow. You have to build both up to get the colour of your bike.

You can't get it in a can AFAIK, but you can get it from here

mucho mucho cheaper

thanks again

Looks like it might be a difficult job, am I better off getting a pro to do it?

Has anyone tried it?

[husky03]

you should practise first-get a quote for the work from a paintshop and see how it measures up-might be cheaper and easier in the long run to get them to do it

husky cheers for that, its a seat cowl so i'll give it a go myself first. I've bought the kit you recomended, I dont suppose you know if i'll need a seperate 1 stage paint do you?

Thanks again

no thats the complete kit-just take your time spraying and remember that the most important thing is the prep

if you do it yourself, don't do it in a cold place. Best to do in summer, in a non dusty place.
If its cold it won't set properly.

I tried Y9H on my fairing lowers last summer, and got a 400ml rattle can mixed up at my local car paint supplier, was about £20 I think.

The paint supplier was able to quote the correct white base coat and the clear required too.

It still didnt match correctly, funds permitting, i`ll get my lowers done properly.
