Bit of Painting

Post by grant81rs »

Gidday,

Last night I set about and painted the pannier lids on my K1100LT, have always fancied the colour coded look.

So I called by the local auto paint suppliers with the topbox in hand and the colour number from under the seat, and after a little searching on their computer "Pine Green" was settled on being the correct BMW colour match.

2 x $28.00 per aerosol cans were mixed in two pac paint on the spot in 10 minutes plus 1 x etched primer and 1 x clear coat and I was back out the door quickly.

A good wipe down and then I taped up the badges and protective rubbers etc and it was good to go, they came up fantastic!!
