my daughter let some "friend" ride her bike and he flopped it over. So he sprung for a new fairing set and the paint. 650.00 for the bare fairing set - then 275 for 4 pints of paint. It was 4 stages and I used Dupont Chromabase paint. First I did white, then pearl, then masked it off and did the green, then the final clear. It took about 3 hours total but it came out pretty nice.

Looks nice on the grass. How about on the ride? Oh, the daughter thing. I am still cleaning my gun. CW song.

 

ok they are on the bike finally. That was a lot of work!

Turned out good. +1 on alot of work for bodywork.

 

from the front you can see that the lower radiator fairing is still white. I will eventually have to pull it off and paint it green. That green was real expensive and I'm out of it! I think that the pint was like 60 bucks.

 

Nice job...all is well that ends well.

 

$60 for a pint of paint?Sounds pretty good to me.The color I want to paint my 94 zx7 is $160+ just for the green candy.And that's my cost at the shop!!!!

 

hahahaha, so I guess that I am out of the loop then for paint.

 

thats for chromabase. What are you gonna use - house of Kolor?

 

Actually it's PPG "Hotwheels"Anti-freeze green.Also that's for a quart(can't get anything smaller).But that's only one of the colors too!!
