Pink & White Ninja 250 (Plasti Dip)!

SanaryKiss · October 18th, 2012, 09:10 AM

Here's a video of pictures of the transformation of my bike to pink and white using plasti dip and regular spray paint! The process was HELL, every mistake that could have been made, we made it! Good thing is, if you make a mistake, you peel it right off and start over. Bad thing about that is waste of time and money

If you're limited with time, a good space to paint, and money, I wouldn't suggest plasti dipping your whole bike. We did it in a little abandoned dumpster with wind blowing, dust particles everywhere, --- it was BAD, but we made it work the hard way.

I'm pretty sure I know plasti dip inside out now, so if anyone's considering it and has questions, ask away! I'll also be uploading a detailed video of the process + a video of my bike showing it up close later.

Enjoy!

(If anyone would like, I could post the pics up here individually as well, just thought it would be easier compiled into a video)

Did you use the glossifier on it?

That's cool stuff!

Yes. Waste of money in my opinion. It barely gave a shine, it was expensive, AND it made dust particles stick underneath the white and gave it a "yellow" or "beige"ish tint. I regret buying it. After I applied, I peeled it all off and the paint looked so much better without it. It might work better with black plasti dip but for WHITE , I DO NOT recommend it. I ended up buying store gloss and using that for a shine and sealant instead

Wow that looks great and matches your jacket perfectly!

lgk · October 18th, 2012, 10:18 AM

looks good

NinjetteNewfie · October 18th, 2012, 10:41 AM

Looks great!! Tastefully done, not too much pink and not a hot pink color either.

krolinked · October 18th, 2012, 10:41 AM

Nice Gear! Make sure you wear your boots all the time! My ankle got ****ed up in a little baby crash because I wasn't wearing mine!

Thanks! No worries, I NEVER ride without my boots! I'm pretty good when it comes to gearing up. I just got new pink SIDI boots too, so I'm good to go

Craigslist for only $160, yay!

Thanks for the look out!

psych0hans · October 18th, 2012, 11:41 AM

Love what you've done to your bike, though I think it needs some more gloss? Try spraying a couple of coats of clear on top maybe? to give it that extra shine?

Jiggles · October 18th, 2012, 11:50 AM

Time to powder coat the rims!

I might have to try something like this, though with a little less pink

I'm powder coating mine soon. Hopefully it goes well.

Also - the plastidip looks good. Good job!

The bearings have to be removed, correct? Is it reusable?

I've already sprayed clear coats on top, that's as good as it gets

I have white rim decals on them for now until I can afford/ decide what to do for the rims :P Probably white!

hirubhaiambani · October 19th, 2012, 12:52 AM

Thats a sweet looking bike!

I like the fact you have matching gear as well

Somchai · October 19th, 2012, 03:19 AM

Great, really sweet looking bike and also fitting your gear

I like pink but how about getting your rims powder coated in white?

camaroz1985 · October 19th, 2012, 05:41 AM

Looks good. Need to add a little pink to the front fairing to continue the stripe from the side.

Robinhood · October 19th, 2012, 07:33 AM

@SanaryKiss - Nice! How do you deal with masking? I can never get a clean peel when taking off the masking, even when I score it with a blade first.

Lay on multiple coats quickly and peel before they dry...

Robinhood · October 19th, 2012, 08:33 AM

Thanks! How long do you wait between coats, and how many do you do? 3 coats with 30 minutes in between hasn't worked out so well for me.

andylawcc · October 19th, 2012, 08:55 AM

as a guy, that's actually look pretty good!

This is what you're doing wrong. The trick with plastidip is to NOT let it dry before peeling the masking. Spray 3 coats WITHIN a span of 15mins and peel.

I just used blue painters tape to tape up the line I want just to get the outline. Then I get newspaper to cover any other parts that I don't want to get paint on. I think the trick is that after painting, you can't wait too long. Maybe about 15-20 minutes? Then I just peeled off the tape and it was pretty clean straight lines.

Wait- Am I understanding your question correctly? haha

Yup, you understood correctly. And who's the hottie in your av? Me gusta!

Greyfox · October 19th, 2012, 07:47 PM

Great job. Now the bike matches the rider

NevadaWolf · October 19th, 2012, 10:21 PM

So let's talk about those decals. Did you design them, where'd you get them, how easy/hard was such a large design to put on?

Cazper · October 20th, 2012, 01:42 PM

Looks really good... and matches your gear perfectly!!! Great Job

Let it cure/harden a couple of weeks then buff it with a polishing compound, should shine it right up. Just have to be careful not to burn the paint if using a power buffer.
