GPz Gloss Black Cases.... How to Re-finish?

#1 PostAuthor: **Ginger Bear** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 10:06 pm

I want to get a set of GPz cases (clutch cover, rotor cover etc) finished, in a black hi gloss finish as close to the original as possible.
Only method I can think of is powder coating. Anyone tried anything different, or have any suggestions?

Hi GB

If you want durability and near OEM finish, get em blasted and 2 pack sprayed by Doug Cox. See my '73 resto' thread for pics of his work. Mine are done satin, but he's happy to do full gloss too.
Kawasaki didn't use powder coat on their motorcycle range - that was only used on their range of commemorative kitchen drying racks :wink:

contact Doug Cox at RD Cox and Son, Reading, Berks.

GB, I've read a bit about PJ1 paint on a gpz forum. Thorough prep is vital, gloss is harder to obtain, but it gets good feedback.

Satin finish:- crankcases, barrels, head, rocker cover & gearbox cover

Gloss finish:- clutch cover, pulser cover & front sprocket cover

Might be worth a look.

If you want durability then Powder coat or stove enamel is best, if original is your aim two pack them.
