anyone do it? im just wondering i want to spray paint my fairings and tank flat black rustoleum. if i do good prep work will this hold up good? and the tank with my jacket rubbing against it. anyone bad or good experiences or should i just get it professional. its a stunt bike but want it to look good since the fairings and tank dont get hit cause cage and ****. thanks guys

 

i spray paint my bikes and it works ok the problem is that it does not have any real hardener in it so its kinda week. if ur gona rattle can the bike use the clear coat with it it will last longer. and dont use rustoleum cause that **** never gets hard it stays rubbery i just painted my bike with it and i already rubbed the paint off were my knees hit

 

I did it and it worked ok.

I wouldn't do it again though. I have a buddy who can spray it for cheap and it would look a lot better.
If you can, have the rattle can job cleared, then it would hold up better.

 

My engine enamel has lasted for a year and not a problem. I did only one coat of clear to. It was really shitty. the paint was primer and about 5 coats of paint. Chips sorta easy, but does not rub off one bit.

 

when i rattle canned my bicycle frame i prepped it really good!! down to bare meteal!! then i did 3 coats of primer (it dry's fast so i did alll 3 in 1 day) then i did 5 coats of paint ( 1 coat a day) then 2 coats of clear

 

use an adhesion promoter to make it last longer...

 

its all in the prep, you can make it look good

 

sand it down good and make sure that you wipe it down with some wax and grease remover before you spray it

<<<<<my bike is rattle caned

 

All I do is spray bomb my ****

Mine isn't nothing special, everytime I've painted any of my bikes, its been a 1 day job.. Start early stripping it, sand it through the middle of the day, and primer/paint/clear at night, assemble the next day

Most recent spray bomb job, with $2 a can spray paint, and 99 cent a can clear coat!






Last paint job before that, using 500 degree 'grabber green' $5.99 a can, with 99 cent clear coat lol

 

Btw if you don't think your fairings, or tank wont get hit while stunting, then you havne't been stunting long enough!


even with a cage, even when I had my SI cage, my side fairings still hit the ground, my tank still hits the ground, same with my tail, front fairing, handlebars, 12 bar, and front fender...


They 'HELP' so your **** wont hit he ground, but go flipping your bike, even at 10-15 mph, and all your **** will hit the ground with ease...

edit: this is the type of **** that happens on the daily.. sometimes its worse, sometimes its less

Either way, the front fairing, and side fairing smacked the ground and scratched the paint

 

I allways use rattle cans, and I don´t even use primer

Holds up fine for me and if you scratch it just paint it over

and btw Towlieee, I´ve crashed alot but my fairings and tank have never hit the ground, SI cage with sliders is the ****

 

You've prolly never had a squid loop your bike at 30mph either

 

true

 

yo towliee, im lovin the fur on the back seat! you dont see that much anymore.

 

yeah i only use spray paint for all my stuff and it works great..... just depending on how long you want it to last... you can just spray it and it will last or you can primer spray and clear and it will LAST.....
