What is the coating on the 1125 frame and swing arm? And how can it be refinished?

There are spray cans of paint available. American Sport Bike has the bronze engine/frame and blue frame/wheel colors.

Now if someone could tell me how to strip the wax out of the pores that I accidentally got in there two years ago, we would be in business! : )

Finedaddy1, that is very helpful. Is there a product number for the blue and black? Do you have contact information for Protech? Thanks

FineDaddy, looks great!

"People with enquiring minds want to know..." how much did it cost?

Timebandit- My powder coater had a few samples from protech, and it just so happened this was one of them.

I contacted a sales rep a while back and he submitted the above samples to me that were used on various Buells, I don't have the info on the color codes at the moment but when I get home I'll post them.
