Reecehk Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I have had to remove both fairing sides on my R1100RT and was thinking of respraying the Tank pad. The previous rider has scratched it badly with his belt. I can only find spray cans of 309 Arctic Silver no 705, are these identical? I am worried that once sprayed (including a clear coat)it won't match, then I'm really in a bind. I looked at a tank pad protector to hide the scratches but can't find anything big enough. All advise welcome. Thanks. Link to comment

Tri750 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I bought a roll of 3M Vynil "Floor marking tape" They use it in Hospitals to tell people to follow the red, blue, line etc. It's EXTREMLY durable. A large roll I thnk was $20 US. It's i think 4" wide. About every year I chunk of a new piece to cover up the belt buckle scratches left by the original owner of my Boston Green RT. So it lasts a long time. You can also use it to make a MotoBatt battery black, cover up lights for trackdays and other stuff. The roll will literally last you years. It comes in almost any opaque color. You could also get a section of metallic silver "decal" material from a decal kiosk like they have at some malls. A blow dryer allows going around the compound curve. Link to comment
Reecehk Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Well I'm glad I didn't spray it with Arctic silver, I actually purchased it, sprayed some on a bit of cardboard and I didn't think it was right. I may have to look at some of your ideas Tri750. Link to comment
