(http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid157/pdaca1647e712d6264c16a3e81dba74c6/f539b3eb.jpg) What you think it was done with Krylon. Still need to sand and buff the paint. When im done all fenders will be black, front,and gas tank will be red.

Title: Re: Plastiq Painting Post by: GaryinSeffner on February 06, 2005, 07:28:15 PM I have a can of that, in Black, sitting on the workbench. Cant decide if I want to use it yet or not so let me know how yours turns out! ;D I'm thinking of painting my fenders black to match the other plastics!
Title: Re: Plastiq Painting Post by: Ida_Mann on February 07, 2005, 10:50:49 AM yeah, let's find out how it stands up to riding conditions.
I'd love to go buy that stuff and change the color of the fenders without buying new plastic.

I painted all the plastics on my old warrior and it not only looked great but never really showed any scratches,etc. It doesnt chip or anything nor when you bend it. I reccomend it.
Title: Re: Plastiq Painting Post by: DaKota on February 07, 2005, 07:14:47 PM Ya just take your time with prep work and lots of coats it should come out nice. Taking time is KEY to a great finish.
Title: Re: Plastiq Painting Post by: Ida_Mann on February 08, 2005, 03:52:10 AM maybe if I paint the plastics in old Suzuki blue, people will be confused when I pass them ;-)

Title: Re: Plastiq Painting Post by: 1slowfox on February 10, 2005, 08:08:27 AM I used some fusion on my tank cover onb my shee , the First time I painted it , It came out great -- Needless to say the screws that hold the tank cpver down either fell out or I forgot to put them back inand the paint rubbed away after about a month or so .... Painted it agian and didn't do prep work and it bubbled up so Now I have to do it agian . But I would recomend using it just like everyone says its all in prep and patience !

I polished the paint out and it shined like no tomorrow looks good now im working on the front fenders then ill do tank and then rear fenders and ill be done.
Title: Re: Plastiq Painting Post by: Ida_Mann on February 10, 2005, 10:49:15 AM I'm gonna try them on my plastics,,,,I painted an old plastic chair in the backyard last night and it came out great.
Id@ Title: Re: Plastiq Painting Post by: DaKota on February 10, 2005, 06:17:05 PM Went riding today and the front took a ton of wacks by tree branches seemed like it held up it didnt chip ill let you know how it looks when i wash my bike tomorrow.
Title: Re: Plastiq Painting Post by: wired2ride on February 11, 2005, 05:17:08 AM hey if it does may have to use it sometime when i'd like a new style
Title: Re: Plastiq Painting Post by: Ida_Mann on February 11, 2005, 07:01:12 AM I think over the weekend the 400EX is getting a new look ;-)
Id@ Title: Re: Plastiq Painting Post by: 1slowfox on February 11, 2005, 07:28:53 AM Make sure that it atleast like 70* or Better outside cause I painted a few thing in like 65* maybe a little higher and the black paint hazed really bad ..
