I use septone satin finish - it comes up as matt tho and sticks real good - get it from supercheap - no to the clear coat tho

Hey Dave, what about fuel?
That's the ONLY prob with the White Knight but the beauty is you can't pick the touch ups.;)
Oh & also, no to the clear coat.

There is a brush on paint called Rubber Paint . It goes on 2mm thick and is just like rubber. I brushed a frame with it about 10 years ago , the owner regularly uses the bike on Wallgrove road with all the roadworks and it has yet to chip the paint.

Hey Weasel, my whole bike is White Knight rattle can flat black.
Then to make the frame a little different from the tank and tail I used flat clear for the frame and satin clear for the tank and tail. but don't tell anyone else:D:D

Ive just done a respray on my R6 with second hand panels in matt black. I used some brand called power tone, it turned out ok I guess.
