Actually all of the info you gave me was usable to me. I just went to the local Auto Parts store to see what all they had in stock.

The part numbers I want to use are as follows.

Dupli Color Black Sandable Primer Pt# DAP1698

Dupli Color Universal Black Pt# BUN0100

Dupli Color Clear Pt# DAL1695

Both the paint and clear say they are acrylic laquer, I just need to confirm the primer is suitable for the acyrilic laquer paint and clear I chose above.

Edit. Thank You for taking the time to post, I need to get this project started and completed asap so I can move on to other details.

 

Great... glad it helped you out. Yes, the DupliColor is acrylic lacquer. That's why it dries fast and hard. Paint like Krylon, Rustoleum, etc. is enamel and it stays soft.

I just tracked down the cap for the clear I used and it is BCL0125 Clear Top Coat (replaces DS125/T125). That shouldn't matter as long as it's gloss clear that you're using.

Sorry, can't help on primer as I didn't use any. I was painting over stock paint so I just scuffed it up. I'd hope that DupliColor's own primer is compatible with their paint but you're right to confirm.

 

 

I will make a note of that clear coat you used, it looks like I will need to start off with adhesion promoter on the freshly molded Dougz chin fairing. I think the primer I selected is compatible, I will test it on a small item first.

 

Well, I picked up all of the supplies from work today.

I decided to go with the following products.

Dupli Color Adhesion Promoter Pt# CP199

Dupli Color Perfect Match Gray Filler Primer Pt# BPR0031 ( I would prefer Black Primer here, but wanted to stick with the Perfect Match Line of Products to ensure compatibility)

Dupli Color Perfect Match Universal Black Pt# BUN0100

Dupli Color Perfect Match Clear Top Coat Pt# BCL0125

I also bought 15 sheets of 3m sandpaper in 1000,1500,2000 grit in addition to the 220 and 400 that I already prepped for primer with.

Total was about $50 bux in supplies so far, and I already have the Megiaurs ultimate compound, and finishing waxes I like to use.

I will start a thread documenting the process....

 

This. ^^^^^^^^.

 

I didnt start my own thread with this part as I was just testing on this part. I started off with a light coat of adhesion promoter, followed by 6 coats of primer, wet sanded with 1k 24 hrs later, 6 coats of base color, wet sanded with 1k 24hrs later, found a few spots that got thin so i resprayed 6 coats of base, wet sanded 24hrs later, then shot the clear tonight, I ended up with about 8 coats of clear on this part (I get carried away when wet sanding) All coats of product were sprayed with 2 min flash times in between coats, after 3 coats I allowed 10 mins flash time, then back to 2 min flash times.

This part has not been final sanded, compounded, only cleared.

 

looking for ppg paint code vibid black

 

DBU9700 GM Code WA8555, and IIRC it is Ford code UA.

the 9700 has a brownish hue to it, 9800 has a blue hue

you'd be amazed at all the shades of "black" out there

I just looked at Ford Trucks 2006 in my Mitchell's Refinishing Guide software, there are 5 variations of the UA (but UA by itself is pitch black) and there are 8 other "ebony" colors that popped up.

Damn I miss the days of "99L"

 

Go to a local ppg paint distributor, tell them the year, make and model of your bike. They will look it up in their catalog or they can call ppg to get the exact formulation. When I got vivid black for my bike it took the paint distributor a couple days to get the reply from ppg. They mixed for me and I painted my tour pack and lower fairings. Not cheap but it matches.
