• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

This is a reference for all. Here is a couple photos of the Husky Club Paint code with fresh coats applied on frame. Used DuPont top of line base and clear over epoxy primer

Real pleased with paint color. Photos shown are before wet sanding and buffing.

Of course I have found a new real high impact Hard Clear available from Tamco
and I would have used it instead, but its high priced. Will use it next. Its expensive.

This project has two primer coats, two light and third thicker color coat, two clear coats.

Oh waiting on first rock hit !

Thanks to Darin - all his painting got me started he posts under dartyppt

Ive been told the closest RAL number is RAL 9006. Im going to give it ago when I repaint my 82 430. Yours looks like a decent colour match.

Looks great, nice job. You will find with clear coat that you can go in and repair any areas, chips etc..... Without repainting entire frame. As far as my painting goes! The shop is closed . What a winter! We keep getting up to -40 below windchills and one snow storm after the next. Running out of places to plow and pile it. At least the groundhogs say: only 6 more weeks of winter ********************************************************************************!
 
Well it's just gorgeous, and a very good match from what you can see in a photo. Either way, with all that attention to detail, it's a pretty sure bet that you've got a better finish than original!
 
Out here I use a Duplicolor product in a rattle can .. the code on the cans here in OZ is DSC44..it is a Mitsubishi color.. Mercury Silver.. a coat of clear over the top.. all good..
 
I have Rustoleum Appliance Epoxy silver in spray can that is very close according to Ruwfo but for anything I build to keep I would rather spray with PPG Omni Epoxy.

The frame I sprayed with Rustoleum last year seems to chip easily
 
Cannot wait to test the Tamco product for clear on next project. Suppose to be real protective. Want to know how the diamond clear product holds up that Darin used on his
bikes in the spring.
 
Has anyone tried the Wurth European car wheel silver? I have some for a BMW Z3 wheel I tweaked...but I dont have a silver frame to compare it to.
