Welcome on board

Quote from: T Legg on Today at 02:01:58 AMBoth of my FJ1100's have been re-painted but my 86 FJ1200 has the stock paint job and stickers.The FJ1200 sticker on the rear fender cowl measures 5-1/8" long by 1-1/8" tall. It doesn't have a Yamaha sticker. I dont know if its exactly the same size as the FJ1100 sticker but it looks like it must be close.

Perfect.  Thanks

Where are you?

There are a couple of graphics people in the UK who sell reproduction graphics.

I'm in Canada.  I've found at least two outfits in Europe that have these decals, in various sizes.  I'm ready to order, just need to know the size...

Ah, OK - do the graphics suppliers not know the size and font of the text?

No they don't

Great suggestion Red!
For one step process I'll see if there is a silver color close to the FJ's silver, if not then use it as a primer and top coat with Argent Silver.

I'm ready for a respray on my '84 frame.
Here's how the "UV resistant"urethane clear coat yellowed over 50k miles in 12 years. I'm not happy.
I park in my garage but nevertheless, the desert sun is unforgiving.



No more "UV resistant" clear coats for me.

I used JB Weld epoxy putty to clean up the ugly bracket weld, normally hidden under the side reflector.
No Bondo in that area, won't last.

Looks good

Steve,
Once you get the rust mostly removed, as best you can, there is now a whole new "paint" product on the market. It is called a "Rust Converter." It looks and acts like spray-can paint, but it is far better than paint. Rust can creep under regular paint, but not this stuff. It is an epoxy-like product that uses rust as the activating "hardener" agent for the chemical coating in the can. You can get aerosol rattle cans of Rust Converters in various colors. It can work as a paintable stand-alone primer, or it can serve as the color coat, if you wish.
Just a thought . . .
