David J Paradise Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I've found what I think is a good touch up paint for the BL4. There were a few chips and a little edge wear I wanted to conceal so I started asking around and searching the net before zeroing in on some matt black paint for the Yamaha R1,R6 superbike. The paint has quite a thick consistency, dries quickly and is a good match to Arri's proprietary paint on the BL4. I used a cotton bud to dab it on and I'm very pleased with the results. Best of all; I found a 15ml bottle on ebay for less than a tenner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David J Paradise Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 Use a Sharpie. The paint is a really good match, didn't take long to apply, dried in about five minutes and blended better than I thought it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohammed Tahir Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 David - did you use something like "Yamaha midnight black TOUCH UP PAINT r1 r6 fz1 fz6" which is what I found on eBay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David J Paradise Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 David - did you use something like "Yamaha midnight black TOUCH UP PAINT r1 r6 fz1 fz6" which is what I found on eBay? The paint I used was listed with this title; YAMAHA R1 / R6 MATT BLACK TOUCH UP PAINT. The one you found could well be the same as it's also for the R1 and R6. It works well for disguising chips and scuffs on the 35BL4. Once dry just wipe over with a little WD40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohammed Tahir Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Thanks, David, I found the paint you're refering to. I want it for an Arri SRII which I'm sure should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
