Ok guys, I'm sure this is a stupid question but whatever. Well I'm gonna be painting my plastics and tank for the summer in the next couple weeks and I'm gonna keep it on the cheap side. I am just gonna do it up with spray paint but I really want a nice shiny, almost candy type look.

SO I have been looking around and at first I was gonna go with a Kawi like green (any suggestion on good kawi like green spray paint would be appreciated lol) BUT THEN......i stumbled across Dupli-Color's Red metal cast......I WANT IT. It would be a sick spray paint job but I'm not sure if its gonna work out on plastic fairings so I figured I would throw this out there.

If the dupli-color is a no go does anyone have any suggestions on cool spray paint or any good colors? Again I want to go with something that looks candy like, like hte duplicolor does. I might just go for it. Thanks for any help

Heres some links of hte paint and its pretty much what I'm going for. They sprayed a NERF gun so I don't think fairings would be much different

 

Links aren't working.

 

The issue you'll run into is, the color will loko different on your tank than it will on your plastics.

 

Just primer it first. I just did mine with High gloss spray paint from Meijer. And use like 3 or 4 coats of clear. Mine looks as good as any shop could do it.

 

dupli color works good but make sure you clear coat it and that will give you the shine you want. you can use the matalic clear coat they have and it will give a nice flake look to the paint. thats what i did. but make sure the base coat dries real well before you clear it or it will pull the paint off and it will look like ****. when you clear do 3 to 5 light coats i mean real light then let it dry for a bout 3 hours then come back with 2 real wet coats and it will have a bling shine to it

 

This is right up atowns alley^^^^^^^^he is a cheap bastard.....so he can really polish a turd if you know what i mean!

 

I did mine with a flat black and gloss olive green strip looks great for a spray can. Just do lots of coats..... I never clear coated it and still looks good this year for a spray.

 

pffft i spray auto paint with a gun squid. the reason i dont use spray bomb any more is break fluid eats the paint off in seconds and i get sick of painting my bike 20 times a season but i can lay down some sick *** spray bomb paint jobs fo sho

Thanks for the input guys,

and ATOWN, your cages are DOPE. Did the old loop out maneuver, smacked the subframe on a sit down and just watched my bike full out pancake and flip. Picked it up, dusted it off and drove away with a slighty tweaked subframe and clipon (clipon was already a little shaky) all in all my bike was legit, thanks alot man

Painted a sprocket, subcage and some other stuff with a similar color. It was just some Duplicolor Metal cast that was supposed to have this anodized look. Just sprayed the silver metallic base coat, then the anodized red and in the sun it looks nice and deep almost like a Kandy. Not bad for cheap stuff.

 

my buddy use the dupli color metallic ground coat then painted with normal red and came out jus like those rims that stuff is awesome
