So it was kind of a long process, but it turned out killer.

I striped all the original paint off with aircraft stripper, then sanded, then did a edge primer, sand, 2 stage prime with hardener, sand, base coat of dupont teal flake, then clear, clear, and clear.

Let me know what you all think.

Ill post all the finished pics when i get my new rims. I busted my rear hub pretty bad a week back in a small little accident.

 

looks alright I guess.. hard to tell

 

Are you gonna use the stock plastic?

 

na ive got a corona look going on with yellow and black.

Here is some more pics after the buff this morning.

 

looks much better there

 

It looks alot better now. Was it hard to get all the stock paint off of the frame? I did my swingarm and that took me about an hour and a half.

 

I used Aircraft stripper. You can get it from any old automotive paint shop. Just spray that **** on leave it on over night and in the morning hit it with some scotch bright pad. If there is still some paint stuck in the cracks use a dremmel with a wire brush attachment.

Piece of cake.

 

aircraft remover is the ****

daaaamn brad, that **** came out
so, when we doing mine?

 

here is a small vid of the whole process.

Enjoy.
VIDEO

 

Quite possibly the best produced video ever put on this site.

Too bad you didn't paint the forks too.

 

I used a dremel for the whole thing. Are you gonna do your forks?

 

nice job and nice video, good choice on the music too, but who was it?

 

lagwagon

 

cant go wrong with old school punk

 

My frame and swingarm are getting sandblasted right now. Is that spray paint you used?

 

Why Did You Strip The Frame? All You Had To Do Was Wet Sand It And Scuff It To Scuff The Clear, Then Spray Your Sealer Let Ur Sealer Tack Then Spray Your Color And Clear. And If You Were Gona Strip It Why Not Just Blast It?

 

looks like a bass boat

shizzle fo shizzle, well done
