Paint Job - Enquiry & Recommendation

[HondaSuperFourHSF]

for the dot 4 thing..... if i am not wrong the top layer of your paint is gone. cause dot 4 is acidic

[Throttle]

yes dot 4 or dot 3 on your paint job means bye bye, no way to clean becos eats into the lacquer

1) anyone knows how to remove the stain from the fuel tank cause by brake fluid?

2) where can i get the top cover of the carb? and the price also.

3) everytime i go slow or go over hump, i will experience a 'ee' sound. why is this so?

 

 

 

 

3) Do you have a box? If you have a box, and they drill a hole in the centre where it's connected by a screw and bolt to secure it, it might be loose, resulting in the ee sound when you go over the hump....

 

second possibility.... Try holding on to the front brake.... and rock the front suspension.... do you hear the ee-sound againn?

 

if there is, maybe it's the rubbing between your cable(can't remember whether it's brake or odometer cable) and the cable holder (shaped like a 'U') located at the left suspension near the mudguard (that's for my version S).... if it is caused by that, put some chain lube on it would solve the problem...

 

shouldn't be a big problem...

 

however, if problem still persist, please check out your friendly mechanic...

3) ur rear brake giving out the ee ee sound?

[four]

think maybe squeeky rear suspension lor. the rear suspension got some linkages near the swing arm. jus apply some lube/ grease/ oil there n see how it goes. it works for me..

 

another scenario is front fork leaking oil. this easy to check. jus open your eyes big big n see if got oil near the dust cover:smile:

The fuel tank cant be help liao... Gota paste a sticker to cover it or respray liao... The "eek" sound u check ur rear suspension.... maybe no gas liao ba... or some rusty parts?

Ai ya simple lah just come for gathering and let us see see look look. all eyes is better then 2 eyes.

thanks all for the info. luckily the tank dint kena much. for the 'ee' sound, i think is what gawdnd had said. after depressing the front brake, i press down the fork and can hear the 'ee' sound. will check tomolo morning. so, anyone knows how much does the top cpver of the carb cost?

Own inspiration is the best design... But if u wan it nice, send to shop for spraying..

[BD]

think out of da box...try those race/sports bike design. imagine on the tank and belly pan. colours do play a part. Or try to do a tribal on it.

spray or paint both also can.....it just need a layer of paint to prevent the expose part from reacting with the atmosphere...if i don want u spray a layer of lacquer over it also can

[bktan]

hey ah siao, mm..u think DIY shops stock these stuff? or where else to get them better?

[Vtec1605198534]

most car accessories shop do sell touch up paint.......

[bktan]

ok, so just normal black would do right, or do they sell normal black?

[Vtec1605198534]

[bktan]

anyone knows which kinda of spray paint or wat kinda of blue spray paint is the closet to the Blue of a Spec 3?

[Dick Steele]

Bro, ive done it on my Spec 1, the Scheme on my ride is of the Spec 3 including the wing on the side of the tank. My painter used a Dupont. All i did was download from Honda.co.jp the pic of the bike & he did all the rest. On how he managed to copy the wing on the side is another question but somehow he did it. I know the original wing on the side on the actual Spec3 is a sticker, mine was painted on, and then topped with a clearcoat to prevent it from fading. The main Blue on mine took about 3 coats, then the topcoat was 2 layers after the wing was panted on. God luck....
