Z1000R and Z1000J - Lots of pics, and Gun-Kote oven baked paint.

Then in the oven, that can be a little challenge, since it is not always that easy to hang up fresh painted parts, even if the part is drying up before I place it in the oven.

The oven temperature for curing the paint is 325 degrees F.
So after the parts have reached the temperature, they have to cure in the oven for one hour.

After the part is cooled down its ready for use.

Your bike is going to be an eye poper.
can u get the pore15 and gun cote in a satin black that match eack other?

Thank you!.

Less bling??? :silly:

Its a nightmare finding the right paint, but I will stick to POR-15 when I cant use Gun-Kote.

You get the Gun-Kote in high gloss, satin, and flat in black.
I have the flat here, but have not used it yet.

The POR-15 you also get in satin, called BLACK VELVED

I dont know how much they match, but when its more flat it should be easier? But as we know, black isnt black always...

Haha, its a part of my living room, I got no space anymore, its parts everywhere now!

by less bling i meant ,instead of adding chrome or silver i will try more black 1st.
thanks for the reply.
i have used spray cans on every peice of my bike. in a couple of years when it starts to look bad,i'm shure it will, i will redo it all.I will use gun cote, and pore15 , and have the frame and body parts painted properly.

Just teasing. :laugh:

But I also found ordinary POR-15 here
In semi gloss....

Thanks.
do i need the solvent too? whats it for? just clean up?

Mark 1122;
Dont think you need that, I used thinner.

OK, so some progress from the bike department. :laugh:

Here is the 1000R head, ready for paint.

And painted with gloss black.

Getting closer now. :lol:
