Tough paint! was created by geohaydook1

I've decided to strip and re-paint the frame on my 750e. I tried to use
My trusty aircraft finish remover, but it barely has any effect. Worked
Great on my old Hondas, but this Kawasaki paint is tough! Any suggestions?

Yep I remember that day. I used a combo of aircraft stripper and sandblaster to get my frame clean. Be ready to paint really fast after you are done. My frame started surface rusting immediately.

I sent mine out to have the frame sandblasted & powdercoated, it is stronger than regular paint and looks great!! and its not that expensive.

I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.
