Collection: Motorbike Paints

Yes. A professional motorcycle paint finish can be achieved with an aerosol when the surface is correctly prepared, the right coating system is used and the paint is applied according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Samurai 2K Aerosol is designed to bring two-component (2K) coating technology into an aerosol format, allowing motorcycle owners, restorers and professional users to achieve high-quality finishes without a conventional spray-gun setup.

For the best results, treat motorcycle refinishing as a complete system: surface preparation, primer, colour, clear coat and curing all contribute to the final appearance and durability.

Yes. Motorcycle fairings can be spray painted, but correct plastic preparation is essential for good adhesion and a durable finish.

Before painting motorcycle fairings, clean and degrease the surface thoroughly, repair any damage, sand as required and use a primer suitable for the substrate and existing coating. Colour and clear coat can then be applied according to the selected paint system.

Because motorcycle fairings can be manufactured from different plastics, always identify the substrate and check product compatibility before painting.

No. You do not necessarily need a conventional spray gun and compressor to achieve a high-quality motorcycle paint finish.

Samurai 2K Aerosol combines aerosol application with two-component coating technology, providing an alternative for motorcycle restoration, repair and customisation projects where a conventional spray-gun setup may not be required.

The quality of the final finish still depends heavily on preparation and application technique, including spray distance, overlap, temperature, flash times and curing.

1K motorcycle paint is a one-component coating that does not require activation with a separate hardener, while 2K motorcycle paint uses two components that are combined before application to initiate a chemical curing reaction.

Samurai specialises in 2K aerosol technology, where the components are kept separate within the aerosol system until activation.

Once a 2K aerosol has been activated, the chemical reaction begins and the product has a limited usable period. Always follow the product-specific activation, application, safety and curing instructions.

Start by checking the motorcycle manufacturer's paint or colour code where available. The correct colour can depend on manufacturer, model, year and specific factory finish.

For colours that aren't readily available as conventional pre-filled aerosols, Samurai Tintatek™ provides a different approach. Tintatek allows selected vehicle colours to be formulated from master tinters and introduced into a compatible aerosol system closer to the point of use.

Yes, existing motorcycle paint can sometimes be refinished without completely stripping the component, provided the existing coating is sound, compatible and properly prepared.

Loose, peeling, cracked or poorly adhered coatings should not simply be covered with new paint. The surface should be inspected, cleaned, degreased and sanded appropriately before applying compatible subsequent coatings.

If you're unsure what coating is already on the motorcycle, test compatibility on a small area before proceeding.

The amount of aerosol paint required depends on the motorcycle part, surface area, starting colour, new colour, number of coats and coverage of the specific product.

Using Samurai Motorcycle Spray Paint would take around 8 cans to paint a standard motorcycle. This number covers primer, colour coat, and clear coat.
