Author Message   Tobycat1 Posted on Thursday, February 28, 2008 - 04:58 pm:        Hi Guys, Just got myself a 2004 XB12R and I'm loving it.She has a couple of stone chips that I would like to fix, could someone please let me know what the PPG paint code is for the 2004 Red paint the XB12R's came in?. Regards Tobycat1   Tobycat1 Posted on Thursday, February 28, 2008 - 08:57 pm:        Hi Guys I forgot to add, I have just read that the fairing on my XB12R is plastic not painted and that it is coloured right the way through.Is this true? My question is then, if I attempt to polish out some scuff marks I won't reach a primer layer if I rub a little to much? The reason I ask is that there are some small black areas (like stonechips) around a couple of scatches which I thought was the primer showing underneath. Thanks for your replies. Regards Tobycat1   Lightningrob Posted on Thursday, February 28, 2008 - 09:27 pm:        You're correct. The bodywork on the XB's are molded in color; not painted from the factory. I don't know why you have those black stone chips. The only things I can think of right off hand is either those are tar specs or bug guts, or some previous owner repainted it. Take some household alcohol and put it on a soft rag and try to rub it out. If it comes off, it was probably tar or bugs. If the black spots gets bigger, time for a new paint job. Good luck to you. I hope its just tar.
