kozubs Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I've seen a lot of questions as to the paint colour for the scorpa tank. I just sprayed my tank and rear fender. I got a small can of touchup paint from Canadian Tire (local hardware/automotive store) that matched extreemly close. The paint is made by duplicolor. The colour that I used was for a Honda called Electron Blue. I need to put my old fender right up to it to see a differance. The paint sprays extreemly well and even. I wet sanded with 2000 grit and clear coated. Now she's a nice custome metalic blue, silver and black custom that I can see my reflection in. I should also note that I have no experiance painting so this is very simple. Hopefully she doesn't bubble when put fuel in. I hope this info helps.

alumiman Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 You might want to try a few coats of clear coat. Always made it last longer for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kozubs Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 I did put on about 6 coats of clear. However, I used a spray bomb from an automotive store and the clear doesn't like gas. Lesson learned. I've heard conflicting reports that duplicolor clear may work well but I may get an automotive store to mix me up some proper clear coat with a catalysis. I also couldn't possibly wait the needed 6 week cure time. I'm curious what you used for clear??? I'll get a photo up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
