Bimota brand motorcycle colour codes
Whether you're a painter or you've never used a spray gun in your life, know that you can get a perfect job done on your motorcycle, provided you exercise care, patience and follow the instructions.
Successful work also and above all requires excellent preparation of the support.
Pre-paint work may include dent removal and reduction of deep scratches. For this, we use a putty, which we will let dry and which we will sand with 240, then 320 abrasive paper. It is not possible to paint directly above a putty.
The application of a primer is mandatory on the putty, but also on old damaged paintwork. It is a neutral product with a certain thickness that allows the surface to be levelled and filled. The primer also makes it possible to create a homogeneous and united background colour. If you want to apply a colour code paint, use Bimota paints.
It is at this stage that you can really start painting. The bottom can be the old Bimota paint, provided it is in good condition. The bottom must be sanded at 500. Never finer. Otherwise, there is a risk of a lack of grip. The bottom must be free of dust, moisture or grease.
To apply the Bimota colour code, which is always delivered in a solvent-based 1K basecoat, very thin and repeated coats must be applied with the spray gun or aerosol.
This step is directly followed by the final step, which is varnishing.
The history of the manufacturer Bimota
The motorcycle manufacturer Bimota is of Italian origin and its date of foundation dates back to the 1970s. At that time in Italy, the founder noticed that there was something of a stagnation and a lack of innovation in the construction of motorcycle frames.
At that time too, motorcycle racing was a sport widely practised and followed by many Italian and even Japanese manufacturers.
The founder of Bimota will stand out by building very high-quality chassis built around existing engines. This founder and visionary entrepreneur, will play a decisive role and will bring his influence through other motorcycle construction companies in Italy, especially at Ducati. Bimota took part in its first international motorcycle races and achieved success as early as the 1980s. The small Bimota engines were extremely efficient and rivalled the best motorcycles of the time.
Like many manufacturers, the road to glory is always paved with pitfalls and in 1997, the Bimota brand rose from the ashes after a bankruptcy due to poor management.
New investors will take over the brand and bring the Bimota adventure back to life. In 2019, the Japanese giant Kawasaki became the majority shareholder of the Italian company Bimota.
Where to find the colour code of your Bimota motorcycle ?
Unlike the automotive world, there is no colour code stamped on a plate somewhere hidden in the body or fairing of the motorcycle.
Unfortunately, it is also not possible to find the Bimota colour codes on the vehicle identification document.
Yes, if you bought your Bimota motorcycle new, then you will find the code reference or even the name of the colour in the original booklet of the motorcycle.
We cannot help you by searching for you because it is not possible to simply search for a colour with a model or a year.
What you need to do is do a quick search on the search engines in your language, and in English, to browse the Bimota brand enthusiast forums.
You will undoubtedly find the precious colour reference that will allow you to order your Bimota paint.
