New subject, got the new to me 2002 Buell X1 and some PO had use black paint and brush and put horrible stripes all over it. I want to get it back to solid white and then find the decals for it. I stripped the black off of it already. Question is, is this painted white, or is it molded white plastic? If painted, what is the recommended paint for it. I want it to look stock. | ||

well if the previous clown used a brush+housepaint, I'll bet he didn't prep the surface either. I bet you could strip that paint off pretty easily. | ||

Paint is off, but unfortunately he/she did scuff area where the painted stripes were at. | ||

Oh sorry, I misread your posting. The bodywork for the X1 is black plastic under white primer. I know this only because I dropped mine on the highway a few years back. There are better ways to strip paint than that. | ||

I believe that by 2002 they were using molded in color on the X1. | ||

I thought they only did the molded in color for the XB line? | ||

There is no paint on a 2002 X1.  Should be fairly easy to fix . . . Al, at American Sport Bike, can fix you up with what you need. | ||

Off the subject a bit... Court, I have been trying to find the code for the Phantom Metallic on the XB section of BadWeB and was told no codes exist. True? | ||

Thanks for the info. I'll get the decal kit soon and see if it covers the scuffs. | ||

You may be able to buff the scuffs out using a proper polish or wet sanding. |
