Nuclear Red Paint Code

Nu-Agane in Bedford sell it.
It’s a 3 stage paint, ground coat, Pearl base and lacquer.
I know because I’ve just ordered some.

 

Im doing a TT/S4 hybrid. I inadvertently trashed my nose cone while prepping it for paint and due to the rarity of good replacements I decided to go unfaired.
So I’ve got the tank, 3 rear panels and front mudguard to do. Should look bloody awesome when done.

 

No harder than anything else.
It’s just another coating.

Prime then wet sand, panel wipe and tack off.
2-3 coats Ground coat then repeat wet sand panel wipe and tack.
2-3 base coat, final fine wet sand wipe and tack then 3 coats of 2k clear.

 

With the wet sand, you just glide lightly over to take out any nibs and dust, don’t go nuts.

 

Had the first stage done yesterday and it’s looking great! A bit more red at the minute but the pink effect will come in with the Pearl metallic once that goes in. It’s bloody lovely! Just a sample so far.

 

Looks like it’s gonna be a smart finish when you’re done mate

 

A mate had a factory-painted Nuclear Red Tiger Tiger 900 (Steamer)

As he said at the time, if that colour was good enough for Natalie Imbruglia...

 

I’m hoping so! It’s certainly going to be different that’s for sure!
