Guest ckamin Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Did you just blow off the paint with the bike intact and touch up the engine while still assembled, in the bike?
Dan M Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 Sorry to say, but this is just the start... Just do a forum search for "wrinkle engine paint" and you'll find lots of threads. 50997[/snapback] My 02 has no signs of flaking yet. Anybody know of any way to prevent it?
al_roethlisberger Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 My 02 has no signs of flaking yet. Anybody know of any way to prevent it? 51767[/snapback] Sorry, but no. If you are somehow lucky enough to have one that never bubbles up.... count your blessings. But I have no idea how any preventative measures could be taken. al
francesco Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 did anybody try to sandblast the wrinkle engine paint off? http://www.guzzisti.it/forum/phpBB2/viewto...highlight=bolle they are talking about a silicon spray that would prevent the bubbles any idea?
DeBenGuzzi Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 I got two great ideas, have it taken off sandblasted and then thrown in for some Powder coating. OR change out the case of a silver one there solved. sorry to hear about all the poor paint really.
francesco Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 DeBenGuzzi you mean that the silver case are exactly the same? I thought those v11 where 5 speed, I'm I wrong would even matter? need more info. what year they switch to black, 2002?
jrt Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 No- the first couple of years, '00 and '01 were silver engine cases. my bike-

richard100t Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 I was wondering...what kind of paint would I want to buy if I want to paint over a silver rear drive, to match the black wrinkle paint. Can you buy a can of wrinkle paint? If not what would work best? Should I use primer over the silver paint first? Lol just a few questions today I'm really in withdrawal since my rear drive gear broke. Oh well I should have the replacement in next week sometime.
tikkanen Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 No- the first couple of years, '00 and '01 were silver engine cases.my bike- 52408[/snapback] ..which looks so much better than the black wrinkle sh..e we 02 owners have to live with. Søren
