90 days
at 70 degrees
That's pretty conservative.
It also depends on how much clear you apply...
If you flow coat and end up with 5 coats of clear then 90 days is about right.

Ducpainter:
i'm interested in painting the pipes on my bike, and the first idea that came to mind was to hit autozone/napa to pick up some dupli-color's engine primer & header paint (after cleaning with rust remover & such), would this have enough heat tolerance? if i'm not mistaken, i believe it is protected up to 1300, but hell if i know. i'm really not picky as far as color matching, i embrace every one of my 'battle scar' nitches
, so i want to make sure it's not going to flake off, crack, etc.
Thanks for the help.

If by pipes you mean cans...1300 is overkill.
If by pipes you mean the headers themselves, 1300 is not really enough, IMO.
If I were going to paint the stainless headers on my bike I'd use a ceramic coating.

yeah, that'd be the headers, not cans. there's also a 1300 ceramic as well. if that's a no go, what would you suggest i check out? i may just end up wrapping them anyway.

I scuffed my clutch cover(wet) pretty bad on a dump and am wanting to wire wheel it and paint it to match the bike. Red circle with white letters and a ring around it. How would you go about doing that and what paint will match my red with white stripe/wheels s2r 800? I've never tried painting something precision wise and every time I try to tape I always seem to get overspray
Plz help me

I can teach process...
I can't teach technique over the web...
but I'll try.
Go to a vinyl guy and have him make you some masks for the circles...it will make your life so much easier.
I'd have him make a large mask the size of the overall diameter and a ring with an od the same as the size of the large mask. Also have him cut the letters as if they were going to applied as a decal.
Paint the color of the ring and the letters...assuming they'll both be white....let it dry.
Then apply your ring mask and the letters and paint the red.
Let it dry and peel the masks except for the outer most mask you applied first.
If you use b/c you can clear at this point...let it dry and peel the mask.
Done.
Do you have a spray gun and compressor? That will determine the paint you use.
I don't know of a rattle can that matches Duc red.
edit....make sure the vinyl guy uses masking film...not regular vinyl.

3) what is the smallest air paint setup you have? I have two compressors, both capable of decent air, smaller one is 5cfm/90psi and big one is 8cfm/90psi. the smaller one is a roofer's type pancake compressor, but i could easily put a line filter for a paint sprayer.
I use an Iwata LPH80 spray gun. It's an HVLP gun with unusually low CFM requirements. It's nice and compact, but plenty big enough to do pretty much anything on a bike (Up to 5" fan pattern).
It's a bit on the pricey side, but is rated to draw only about 2-2.5CFM at around 10-15PSI. Does amazing work and does'nt need a big compressor.
My $0.02

I don't think Ducati knows them....
seriously if you can find a paint shop that sells PPG 'Global' they probably have the info.

my local ppg rep has a little paint chip book for all of the bike manufacturer paint codes up to 2006. The book is by this company called the nexa corp. which ppg apparently bought and now own all of the paint codes. i dont know how well they match ducati factory stuff, i still use my own scans b/c i am not a ppg guy.

Some of the colors are good.
Reds are not a 'perfect' match.
The silver they have is for the earlier bikes not the S2R
