How 3 Stage Motorcycle Paint Works

A typical 3 stage motorcycle paint system usually includes:

1. Ground coat or base colour
2. Mid coat or effect layer
3. Clear lacquer finish

The additional mid coat layer helps create greater depth, pearl effects or colour variation depending on the finish being applied.

Applying Aprilia 3 Stage Motorcycle Paint

Correct application is important when using 3 stage motorcycle paint systems, as layer consistency can affect the final colour appearance and effect finish. Spray technique, film build and lacquer application can all influence the final result.

Professional refinishing equipment and correct paint preparation are often recommended for best results.
