Automotive Sector – Motorcycle

We supply a wide range of car paints and consumables suitable for the automotive market including primer, basecoat, 2 pack and lacquer (1k and 2k). Our in-house technical team can colour match the paint you require using the make, model and paint colour code from your car or if you can’t easily find this we can colour match to a sample provided. 

If you are simply touching up your vehicle we can supply 400ml aerosol spray paints or 125ml and 250ml touch up paint pots, which have a brush in the lid, these are ideally used for small areas or scratches. Alternatively, for Basecoat or 2 Pack Paint see below:

  • Primer – You will need to add a primer/undercoat to the surface. Different surfaces require different primers. 
  • Paint – You will need to apply the paint through a spray gun. You will need to thin down the paint using our Universal Thinners with a mixing ratio of 1:1. 
  • Lacquer – You will need to apply a lacquer for protection. We can supply a single pack RFU Lacquer or a 2 Pack lacquer however you will need a mask and respirator in order to use this product.
