    Gas resistant clear rattle can

    I gave-up looking.

    I just take my rattle can projects to an auto body shop for the special 2-part, baked-on clear coat.

    The shop I go to charges about $ 100.00 per bike.

    Gas resistant clear rattle can

    I would like to know where that is ?

    Also will experiment with some
    epoxy paints but may be bogus epoxy

    I think we are f*kd because now with 10 % alchohol
    it covers more organics as a solvent.

    Gas resistant clear rattle can

    several years ago, I had a little paint bottle that I could get c02 propellant cartridges for. mix paint for it just like you would for a regular paint sprayer

    I would definitely get the tank cleared at a shop. It will be cheap and all other options will not be gas resistent. I've done a few racbikes with different rattlecan clear, and gas eats right through it.

    I'm not tellin'!

    I will say that there are at least two shops in Norwood, MA that'll do a clear coat for that price.

    I found a shop that painted my entire K75S for $ 250.00 I just picked up the parts today.
