View Full Version : $25 paint job
c_anglada May 20th, 2009, 06:59 PM I know...I know...I know.... I'm cheap :p but i got what i was looking for :D... the bike still needs to be cleaned and waxed. For those who want to know i wet sanded the plastics down with 400 grit sand paper cleaned off the plastics, made my tape lines, masked off what i did not want to paint and sprayed away. I used krylon Camouflage Paint with Fusion Technology flat black. when i painted it (in my shed) the temp. was on the cooler side and it was raining so its not perfect by any means. Tell me whatcha think... oh and i got lazy and did not take the heat sheild stuff off on the inside of the main fairing and decided it would be a bad thing to paint over it so if you look you can see some blue there

tinng321 May 21st, 2009, 10:26 AM nice job.
if you look close enough you could see that there's a blue spot.
noche_caliente May 21st, 2009, 02:29 PM not too shabby for a rattle can job :)
JaeL May 21st, 2009, 04:47 PM i like that its different
c_anglada May 21st, 2009, 06:11 PM Thanks! yeah there is another spot on the right fairing in the top middle of the black area. when i clean and wax i will take some close ups. like i said its not perfect by any means...

Have you considered painting the tops of the fairing bolts black as well?
azia May 24th, 2009, 07:09 PM I just saw a commercial for the Krylon Fusion stuff on TV recently and was like, "WOW, gotta get me some of that stuff!" Thanks for cinching it for me. ;) The bike looks great!

Zero260 May 26th, 2009, 03:25 PM I really like your design scheme, though I could never rattle can my own bike.
