    Touch-up paint

    Hey everyone, I would like to touch up a few scraps and road rash that the previous owner dished up to my ZZR, what kind of paint should I use and where can I get it. Thanks

    You could also talk to a bike painter. I got my old ZXR touched up for $20 as they had some paint there for my bike... (standard Kawasaki green)

    If it's just small chips you might try the little tins of paint that model shops sell.

    I always find that hydrochloric acid works best on jappas.

    Not sure about a tube, but you could get a can from Paint Superstore. Press down once for white, twice for red and three for green.

    Ive found that the hardware store that sells the left handed screwdrivers and glass tip nails have the better brands of tricolor paint
    If Wile. E. Coyote could afford all that ACME crap, why didnt he just buy dinnner?

    I sent the apprentice under me to go and look for a camshaft for a rotary. That was a waste of a day

    Not sure if this will help, but my dad has been purchasing touch up paint for his cars/trucks through Carcolours in Albany, Auckland. $18 for 250 ml of thinners, 250ml of colour matched paint and a pencil brush.
    What a deal.

    Ooops getting away from the original question, ndepends on how much many you want to spend, you get spend big money on getting it done properly by a paint shop or most paint shops can make up some of your colour in a can fairly cheap.
