Can I bring my paint back to life? was created by Bama704
Can I bring my 77 KZ900 paint back to life? Is this an issue of the clear coat deteriorating or is it something else?

Not too sure what I could do. I have waxed it and it doesn't change the appearance, what are y'alls thoughts?

Looks like the clear has succumbed to UV. You'll need to cut it back using paint cutting compound then get it re cleared. Be careful not to go through the green when cutting it back though.


Z1000J2 somewhat modified!

Here is a good example of redoing the clear coat:
