my local motor factors are mixing me 1/2 litre of 2K, using the colour code from the main dealers which is Y-124p and rerquires a white undercoat, had a little trouble finding the colour on the sandox system at first it didn't recognise it when we entered y124p but sorted it now as it requires a das...

Excuse my ignorance lads, but do the likes of Halfords only need the paint code off the bike to mix up some paint? :? I don't know whether halfords do 'mixed' colours or just a range of common colour rattle cans but I suspect honda y124p won't be a a stocked item. And that's not a fault of halfords...

cheers I'll see if my paint supplier can mix the specific undercoat and the colour basecoat for me, I'm assuming normal 2k clear will be OK on top

thanks for the replies, looks like y124p is the winner I'll have a look under the seat to make sure (if the sticker is on the subframe then it's probably gone as I painted the subby kast winter) I don't want a rattle can but some 2K base and clear , however it looks like it's a 3 stage paint system ...

i'll be heading from warrington, toward oulton park, down the a49 toward hereford way, rather than my usual route through machynlleth, just for a change. a49 is a cracking road and leads straight onto the a44 then some good winding roads up to the site. let us know a bit sooner what time you're pla...

Let’s not have any arguments about how far north is ‘up north’ :whatever I’m based in Leeds which I guess you’d call ‘north’ or ‘northern’ anyway who’s going from the Yorks -Lancs area? My route would be the west on the M62 then down to Wales anyway, so does anyone fancy meeting ...

anyone going to this from 'up north' ?

as above, in most cases stickers vinyl, etc can be lacquered over no problem, the only ones that can't (well they can but it ruins the effect) are the 3D effect carbon fibre wrap vinyl ( 3M di-noc and similar), these vinyl’s are very good and look remarkably like the real carbon fibre, I’ve just...

I may sound a stupid question but what are the benefits of stainless steel v cast iron when choosing brake discs?? And which material is used for OE??
