Anyone know what paint is best for touching up the painted black frame on a 2007 sherco. I want to touch up the marks where the triple clamps have hit the frame and one or two other marks. i want to do it to protect the metal more than for the cosmetic looks, but obviously i dont want the paint to stick out like a sore thumb...

Krylon semi-flat black seems to work well.

Yeah, that paint only seems to be available in the US. Any in the UK??????????

uk stockists too flat black aswell. google search www.caswelleurope.co.uk

Just checked that website out, what is the name of the paint im looking for on the website. Is it Krylon dupli-colour Black base coat or something else??

HEREit is.

Cheers Copemech but they wont deliver to the UK.??????????????

I can only find one company in the UK that can get the Kry-lon semi black, but as it would be a special order, there is a minimum amount of 6 cans of the paint. Anyone know a equivalent of the paint thats available off the shelf in the UK???

Come on. SOMEONE must know, what paint i can use to touch up my frame??????????

you can get touch up paint made especially for touching up powder coating, we use it at work quite regularly.

Where abouts are you, the paint shop I use is P&M panels in Warrington, tel - 01925 415661.

As long as you know the colour, you're fine ! And they'll probs deliver !

Well, it is not really a special color, it is black! P\The thing about it is that it is not glossy or totally flat, but in-between.

Surely there must be somethins off the shelf that is close like barbeque paint.

So it's eggshell, or satin..... maybe.
Not sure how much the pots are, but might be cheap enough to buy a couple, just thought...why not try poster paints, I'm sure there's an enamel type.

correct me if im wrong but the tripple clamps are aluminium so if your doing it to just protect the material i wouldnt bother

No, he is referring to frame scuffs and scratches!

Yeah, the frame has a few marks, not the triple clamps. I like the idea of BBQ paint, i think i'l give it a go.

Hi All,

I've been sitting on this one for a while but today I resprayed my spare 06 Frame with this paint which is actually made in the US.

The end result is very close to the original Sherco paint and and I am very pleased with it. It's not as tough as the original Sherco power coat but it's not far off and can be sprayed or brushed on for touching up.

Be sure to buy the Acid 8 primer and the thinners too. As there is no substitute for these I'm told.


Just thought I share this with you guy.


Best of balance.
