I have received some Kawasaki parts for a repaint but it makes me a little nervous. The current factory paint is, clearcoat wise, near damn perfect. hardly any peel. I have never seen that before on factory paints.

What could be Kawasaki's secret? Master painters? I can't imagine they cut/buff all their bikes...

Flowcoats and it's a small part. Not hard to get a smooth finish. Not all bikes are that nice. Some have heavy peel, some have fine peel, some are glass. Look at some HD's with factory paint for instance. The graphics are buried and the clear is often dripping off the bottoms of the fenders. Last smashed HD I did was just black and very heavy peel.

no real secret they just dont put much paint on bikes ,with kawasaki they dont use a primers either which is why there tanks go rusty .if you want to replicate the finish use a mini gun and also keep you basecoat piss thin ,add thinners to your clear and use a fine tip ,i found my sata MJ 4 with either a the 1.2 or 1.0 works fine
