Paint and decal GT550

Post by tato81 »

I want to paint my motorcycle in black. I know my motorcycle is GT550B from the year 1977 but i love black. Does anyone know the code of Suzuki's black paint from 1976 (peat black metalic?) or 1975 (glose black)? I also have a question about stickers on the tank. Are they water? I also have a question about tank and panel side decal. Are they on the water? Or these are traditional stickers? I bought these:

Does the original Suzuki apply clearcoat on decal?

They are stickers, not transfers. But do you really need them? They are for standard bikes!!!

Model details here - http://www.suzukicycles.org/GT-series/index.html

If you want to do it any colour other than standard, just see your sprayer and see what he can do.
My 550A is a very non-standard black with red metalflake in. Looks great in sunlight.
My 'tank decals' are sprayed on and look great. Laquer several coats over the top.
Proof that four strokes are over complicated
