Moderator drewpy Posted September 12, 2009 Moderator Share Posted September 12, 2009 PJ1 black satin is the way to go, no primer required. I never seen a better paint to resist fuel and heat. I cried when the main factory was burned down ( well not quite!) as they stopped making My yamaha silver for the xs cases. they only make black now!! The stuff yambits sells is crap, it runs and you have to bake it forever to get the petrol resistance ( and it still pools silver if you spill on it) drewps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
