A motorcycle is perfectly suited for customisation and, when you decide to customise your motorcycle paintwork, the choice is extraordinary. Among all the types of motorcycle paints, you can consider virtually any shade, colour, or effect in motorcycle tuning. Tuning paints create a wide variety of finishes to suit all tastes — from clean and elegant effects (with pearlescent, candy, or metallic), to bright and eye-catching colours (with fluorescent, iridescent, or holographic), to bold and extravagant colours (thermochromic, chameleon, etc.).
Three reasons to customize your bike :
The legislation is completely unrestricted, with no binding laws regarding paintwork customisation. It is also quite economical to take a motorcycle to a bodyshop compared to a car, especially if you are prepared to carry out the disassembly, sanding, painting, and clearcoating yourself — the cost of materials remains very reasonable regardless of the chosen effects. Finally, it is about enjoyment: expressing your colours, personality, and unique flair by giving your two-wheeler a distinctive character. Far from making the vehicle harder to resell, a high-quality special-effect paintwork can even increase its value.

The star of motorcycle paints : Candy
This technique has been around for almost 50 years and remains the queen of colours. Nothing can match the brilliance and surprising depth of a Candy custom paintwork on a tank or mudguard. We refer to Candy more as a technique than simply a paint, because it is a very specific process involving multiple superimposed coats, which together create a colour composed of pure light and Candy ink.
