paint question

[Big Lou]

i have a 1989 royale {venture},

went to yamaha dealer an only thing he can say is "dark grayish blue metalic" no paint code numbers

when I bought it ,it had allready been laid down , so fairing is scratched pretty good .I have taken it off so many times I am contemplating mounting it with VELCRO....

here is my question ,,i know some about fiberglass, will a clear coat after i wet sand the ABS adhere , I found in summit racing , ROTH FLAKE ,, looks like the two colors of blue will match and i can keep origional paint scheme,, mixed with clear:lightbulb::lightbulb:

IF I USE THE MONSTER FLAKE , I BELIEVE IT WILL HIDE SCRATCHES, AND LOOK GOOD

KIND OF LIKE A VW DUNE BUGGY.. OR A BOAT

Since the ABS WILL be flexing, you want to insure that your paint is selected for this, just like auto bumpers use a "special" paint for the proper adhesion and so the flexing is coped.

Two color schemes in 1989:

#1. Primary: Graceful Maroon, Yamaha code: 0RO

#1. Secondary: Miyabi Maroon, Yamaha code: 0JY

 

#2. Primary: Dull Blue Cocktail, Yamaha code: 08B

#2. Secondary: Dark Grayish Blue, Yamaha code: 09B

I know some about fiberglass, will a clear coat after i wet sand the ABS adhere ,

`

 

I also have also worked with fiberglass on various projects, including the bike and I personally have not had good luck with fiberglass adhering to the plastic.

Big Lou i am taking a bunch of fiberglass off of the plastic the po (before 1rooster) put on only one side adheres if your lucky he also used bondo and painted the abs over the cracks i think i got it all off and have been plastic welding it and reinforcing the cracks with copper wire that makes it stronger and the cracks have stopped spreading right now it doesnt look good but its still a work in progress
