    Angry PJ1 Worthless paint

    Well i've only heard good about the PJ1 paint. I now have 5 cans of it and can only use 1-2 of them. I got one from rons cycle in White pigeon MI about a month ago, I just went to use it and no cigar. It wouldnt spray and then when it did it wouldnt stop. I cleaned the nozzle with paint thinner and i cleaned the top of the can where the nozzle goes and it still didnt work. I cleaned it all about 3 times and even tried a different nozzle. It still doesnt work.

    A couple weeks ago i bought 4 cans from rocky mountain atv. 2 black (exhaust paint) and 2 gray (engine & case paint). The gray didnt look like it was the right color so i gigured i'd spray a piece of aluminum and see what it looked like. It shot out the top of the can and all over my hand and it wasnt even the color i was hoping for. I dont even want to try the other 3 cans of paint I have. Now i have like $45 worth of paint i cant even use I highly DONT recommend PJ1 paint

    .

    not that i know of. Everyone i talk to says its the best paint out there for this kind of stuff. Maybe its just the operator? Probablly. I've had all kinds of wonderful luck when trying to do my 85 250r project. Its kinda got me in the mood to not even go to trikefest. I do one thing on the project and then something else goes wrong. I cant wait to get it done though just so i can ride it's **** into the dirt, maybe even blow er up

    About the paint tough...Does anyone have any ideas what the hell im doing wrong? I did everything in their directions. Its above 70 degress etc...

    I've had that happen with various brands of spray paint before. You use a little bit, clean out the nozzle & put it back on the shelf. In a year or so, you reach for that same can of paint, that was just fine when you put it away, and now it has the same symptoms that you speak of. Sounds like the cans you got were pretty old stock. Better luck next time.

    I painted the motor on my 85 BR with their primer and nucast aluminum and did have any problems what so ever. Have also painted the exhaust system with their high temp flat black and no problem.

    I gotta vote thumbsup on the Pj-1. all three cans I just bought worked well. I just hope it holds up to the abuse like everyone says it does.

    Is paint really tough enough to use on ATV's, what with all the dirt and stuff they kick up? I want to repaint my LT80 frame and engine, but I'm afraid it'll just be a waste of time, and that the paint will chip off instantly.

    Take them out ( with a gun) at a shooting place if you have some private land. Make a ring of fire around it but don't set it on fire. Go back and shoot them. Makes a great fireball. It will bring a smile to your face or better yet a cackle. Lemme say this again...Stand back at least 50 yards.

    So many idiots that can't ride a motorcycle, so few hours to put my boot in their seat!
