Hi,

Never heard of that one, could you be more specific please?

Search came up Lendt tractor paint, no black :(

Cheers

Here are my Z1R cases. I had them blasted and 2 pack painted by R D Cox in Reading. That was 4 years ago and they still look like new 2500 miles later.

Very nice Steve, how did you prep them beforehand ?

I didn't do much except degrease them and Cox's did the rest. I also hear good things about Centurian Motorcycle Projects and their Richochet coatings but not sure of the costs involved.
