Tupperware Finish

[jthornton]

Is the tupperware on the Spyder and RT622 painted or is the color molded into the part when it is made?

What kind of paint do you use to paint the tupperware?

Thanks
JT

Tupperware finish

When I bought my RT it was used and had a shallow nose scratch which showed black material under the finish so I believe it might a gel coat finish but am not sure.

They are painted with a paint conditioned for use on plastic much the way plastic car bumpers are painted. There are special additives you can add to paint for use on flexible plastics.

Painted, except for some trim parts.

Be careful when sanding

When prepping for new paint, be careful when wet sanding. It is easy to expose the black underneath, especially on the edges and corners.

What kind of paint do you use? I usually use Dupont paints on metal... I think one place in town has PPG too.

Bob, not really just Paladin from the other forum got me to wondering and I do plan on painting the RS622 this winter to match the Spyder a bit better... maybe paint 1/2 to match the Spyder and 1/2 to match the GL1800. Wadduthink?

Duane's a sneaky bugger.. He finds ways to talk us into projects that we'd otherwise just back away from... :shocked:
Actually; what if you painted the 622's lids to match your RT? The darker Orbit Blue on the bottom would kind of seem like a natural transition...
Just a thought...

I was worried that you might have had an "Oh-No!" moment, and had repairs to effect.. :yikes:

That's a good idea Bob, and if I don't like it then I just paint the rest to match. At least if I don't paint the body I don't have to worry the rock guard peel and never unstick stuff.

i have a 2012 RTS & it looks like white under the red from what i can see

I just ordered the pack (primer - color - clear coat) to repaint a Pure Magnesium trunk cover to Full Moon Silver.

Will disclose all after it arrives and if I don't end up painting my nostrils shut.

Did you order from uspaint? I see they have all the Honda colors, I wonder if they have BRP colors in stock?

I do drag out my hot sweaty particulate mask when painting... as I hate cleaning out all that junk from my nose.
