KYMCO motorcycle paint 

Painting a motorcycle fairing, whether it is a partial repair, or painting the entire motorcycle, can be done with a paint gun or aerosol. In any case, you must know the color codes of Asian motorcycles and precisely the color code of the Kymco motorcycle you own, to order the paint.

Without the KYMCO color code, it is not possible to search for a paint formula.

Once you have the Kymco manufacturer's tint, all you have to do is get to work, with first of all the preparation of the space or the paint shop, and also the dismantling of the parts. In most cases, it is impossible to paint directly on the motorcycle without disassembling the parts. The mudguards, the side covers, the tank, the "fender", all of this must be dismantled and laid flat on a grid or a board, or even suspended. It is important to be able to paint from all angles, above, on the sides, but also slightly below the parts.

Painting can be done by a professional in his paint booth. As for the work space, if you want to do the work yourself, it can be an indoor area, provided there is enough air flow to circulate the paint fumes and this can - also be an outdoor area. In both cases, to limit the amount of dust that flies and can settle in the clearcoat, it is advisable to wet the surroundings with a jet of water.

As for the preparation of the part or the fairings of the motorcycle, it is sometimes possible to limit it to a simple sanding with an abrasive paper 500, without any application of primer.
However, a build-up type primer is necessary in the following cases :
• a scratched surface
• a surface where mastic has been applied
• a surface where have been removed from the adhesives or have different unevenness

A few words about how to apply Kymco paints :
Step 1 : The background, whether it is a primer or the old varnish present on the motorcycle, must be sanded with 500 grit paper Never more than 500, if you want to guarantee perfect adherence.

The background color must be chosen in a specific way. Of course, you may not be aware of the specific background color recommended for your Kymco color code. This is the work of our colorist who will contact you if necessary.

The application of Kymco paint is always done with several thin coats. It is always better to apply very thin and more coats, than to apply fewer coats with more thickness. This gives better results, especially for positioning the pearl and metallic pigments of modern Kymco shades.

For the Kymco motorcycle, as for other brands, the paintings must be varnished and for this reason it is necessary to also order a 2-component clearcoat to protect the paint but also the parts of the fairing.

The history of the manufacturer KYMCO

Few people know that motorcycle manufacturer Kymco is of Taiwanese origin.
The original founding date of Kymco is 1963.

In its early days, the company mainly produced scooters for the Asian market. It has also very quickly become the 5th largest producer of scooters in the world.

The Kymco group has developed production plants in different areas of Asia, including Indonesia in Jakarta, Malaysia, Shanghai and two other cities in the People's Republic of China.

The distribution of Kymco scooters is done in the United States with a branch of the group based in South Carolina. It distributes its scooters there to 600 franchised dealers across the country.

Since the 1980s, the group has also launched into the production of Quads (ATV), which today represent a significant part of its production.

In 2008, the German group BMW chose to establish a partnership with Kymco, so that the Taiwanese group supplied it with its engines for certain models of motorcycles, but also certain parts intended for the BMW i3. The Japanese group Kawasaki has also elected the Taiwanese manufacturer to partly manufacture its new J300 scooter.

Nowadays, the Kymco Group produces around 570,000 vehicles each year at its Kaohsiung-based plant and employs over 3,000 people.

Where to find the color code of your KYMCO motorcycle ?

The Taiwanese group's brand is very well developed in Europe and requests for Kymco motorcycle repair paint are particularly frequent, as are requests for the biggest motorcycle brands such as Kawasaki or Honda.

However, it is particularly difficult to know its color code for this brand. When it comes to a scooter, the color codes are similar to those of motorcycles. Unlike the automotive world, you cannot find its color code inside a door or in the engine compartment.

It is only possible to know its code by having the original papers of the motorcycle of the scooter, or by contacting the dealer.

We can advise, for those who have already exhausted all these solutions, to go to Internet search engines, to visit forums that specialize in Kymco scooters : there is a wealth of community information, including regarding the colors of the scooters.
