What paint for tank badges?
« on: October 09, 2020, 03:57:00 PM »
As the finishing touch to a customer's V7 Sport, I need to paint the tank badges - fill in the centers with white and background with black. Anyone done this and can recommend a suitable paint?

If you're not living on the edge you're taking up to much room.

On my G5 I went with:

Duplicolor BCC0407 Perfect Match Stone White

For the black, I used this:

Duplicolor BUN0100 Universal Black, but the black wasn't really hard to match anyway.

The top badge in the photo below is a NOS OEM Moto Guzzi (not repro, the repros out there are too Arctic looking), the bottom is the one painted with the BC0407 Stone White. I could have given it one more coat to thicken it up a bit looking at it again, or it would be best to find that same color in a non-aerosol can (less diluted), easier to brush on. I sprayed the paint in a cap, then brushed it on.

Sally Hansen "Hard as Nails" nail polish.
Good, strong, durable paint that even comes with it's own brush.
Couldn't be more convenient.
