Paint for M900ie tank (used)

Mr Gazza · 25-01-2024, 07:00 PM

I have this paint for sale, from a 2001 M900ie petrol tank. (Original Ducati.)
It includes four coats, Black primer, White undercoat, Rosso Red base coat and clear lacquer. There are also left and right hand Silver Ducati logos.
Should fit other years and models with no problem.
This is the upper part of the tank only, does not include the underneath area.

Sensible offers please, bearing in mind how expensive a new paint job is and this is original paint.

Does it come with the brush shown in the background to re-apply it?

Mr Gazza · 26-01-2024, 08:39 AM

I could throw the brush in if the price was right I suppose. The postage will be a bit more though.

Looks to me like the Agip stickers missing!

Mr Gazza · 26-01-2024, 08:55 PM

As far as I know no AGIP stickers ever appeared on Monster tanks?
They were certainly used on SS fairings and looked great as they've got the look of a Ferrari badge.
By 2001 Ducati had nothing to do with AGIP anyway and were associated with Castrol for lubricants.
Mike Hailwood's often replicated IOM Ducati was painted in Castrol colours, not the colours of the Italian flag as many assume.

Any chance you'd swap this paint for the used air I kept out of my last set of tyres?

I kept it in case it was useful one day, and it's been floating around my garage ever since.

Mr Gazza · 26-01-2024, 10:09 PM

OoH! Tempted. Is it genuine Bologna air though?
Can you post a picture?

Love a bit of light humor, helps the winter nights pass quicker.

Nasher · 27-01-2024, 08:03 AM

Better than that Sir G.

It was originally sucked out of a genuine Varese built 916's tyres, so is as rare as anything.

Will try to get a picture later.

Bitza · 27-01-2024, 09:27 AM

You can see from the pic my Agip sticker is a bit passed hence why I was looking for a replacement.

Mr Gazza · 27-01-2024, 10:03 AM

That sounds very good Nasher and I should have some left over as I have a 170 on the back rather than a 180.
Postage should be cheap too. I see that royal mail have a special service for that called air mail.

Mike, I stand corrected. My '98 was after AGIP's tenure, but your Elefant and earlier font spill the beans. The logos on my tank are the later font.

It's very rare now and I was only able to find a vinyl applique, but yours looks like a waterslide to me? I can't imagine you want to trade all that character for a new bright sticker?
