Anyone have any idea what type of rattle can paint to use to touch up my 75xs frame? Would like it to match as best possible. Something from Colorite/ Yamaha black? Duplicolor?, PJ1 fast black epoxy? Hopefully something gas won't dissolve ! Or is black paint just black paint? ! Thanks

I touched up my frame with Rustoleum gloss black. It seems to match pretty well and is available in rattle cans. Resprayed the gauge cups with semi gloss.

The PJ1 epoxy is good stuff but will most likely not match the shade of black on the frame,try the PJ1 paint for the cases and jugs, a much brighter black color...............Jack
