my bike had some gay pin striping crap on the upper fairing when I bought it so I decided to redo all the paint, anyways I sprayed some paint stripper on it now there is like this black tar looking crap under the paint and its horribly rough what is this and what do I do?

 

thats the adhesive on the sticker
you gotta sand it off with some 100 grit
and get an orbital sander to get it off....cause doing it by hand will take forever

 

its all over not just on the sticker

 

You mean it is all over the fairings? If so, the stripper probably ate into the plastic...in which case you are f u c k e d. I do not think you are supposed to use the stripper on plastic...

 

ROFL @ PAINT THINNER on plastic, man thats incredibly smart.

 

is there any thing I can repair it with like bondo to smooth over it and sand it out smooth?

 

goto autozone and buy some plastic weld.

 

its all over the shield area of the upper fairing it looks like texture thats on the wall.

 

rinse it really good and let it set out in the sun until it rehardens then go over it with a DA (dual action sander), bondo, sand, prime, sand, paint

 

yea I guess thats about the only logical thing to do I was thinking of that but I was wondering if anyone had a simular experience and what they did how it turned out...

 

f u c k bondo, use PLASTIC WELD

 

im a bodyman/painter body puddy works great, trust me

 

how much area does plastic weld cover? does it come in a container like bondo how much material is in one package?

 

obviously you dont know jack diddly about body work and no matter what you do its gonna look like ****, but im telling you go down to your local paint supply store and buy some "metal glaze" or puddy as its known in the repair business. its light weight and if you absolutely have to you can paint over it. comes in a container big enough to cover you whole bike if you wanted to and its a two part filler (filler and hardner)

 

plastic weld is the way to go.

 

fvck you and your plastic weld

 

yeah n/m plastic weld, just use Cement. or hell dry wall filler.

 

+1...If you want to bring the parts to down to Austin I will fix all your plastics and paint it a single color of your choice for $700 and thats with PPG paint and a lifetime warranty..Plastic weld is for fixing cracks if you fix it yourself you need to DA all the plastics as smooth as you can and fix all the imperfections with evercoat metal glaze and then prime with a good 2K primer not the spray can crap...

 

Wheeliest, we should make it a rule that you have to know how to do bodywork if someone wants to join. cant have your bike lookin all clapped from hittin mormons

 

rofl plastic weld is damn ez, just mix, spread and sand, wha laa. u guys gotta go all technical n ****. u guys don't even underSTAND what my next bike is going to look like. since i haven't had a license in 3 years i've been keeping my bikes inconspiculous but now in november when i got all that DL,insur etc crap ima rock the hotness.
