Triumphrat

noticed today in the snow the paint's now flaking off the radiator.

Finish was almost unscathed by it's 18k to date when I picked it up a month ago, justa small flaking behind the oil cooler.

Bike's been FS365'd since then but has been ridden through rain, snow, sleet and hail not to mention salt every day.

What can I tart it up with ? Something that's easy to apply without much fussy preparation and finishing ?

How about some bbq paint:

Hammerite BBQ Paint

heat resistant, black, spraypaint, and quite possibly a really sh**e idea...... :???:

Would certainly do some major testing first....

American BBQ paint works fine, there are also some motorcycle high-heat engine paints that will do the job, too. I rebuilt my Tiger from a wreck I bought on eBay so I've become well-versed about what it takes to make it look right.....and stay that way! Just be sure that you have the surfaces really clean before painting, then clean them once more. Also, don't paint when it's too cold, even if the paint is warm. That really makes a difference with how durable the finished product is.
While it's nice to have a sharp looking ride, the soul of the Tiger is what really matters! You know what I mean.....

Get yourself or someone in the trade (they don't sell to the public) along to Dingbro and get some of this stuff.
