did you put any clear on top of the paint ? maybe you can tell me all the steps

I would like to put clear on, but I couldn't find one that would work without wrinkling the spray paint i used. I used the little rear piece as a test, and I sanded and painted it maybe 10 times. But in the end, that rustoleum "for plastic" paint worked best with 2 or three really light coats wait 15 minutes between each one, and one thick one at the end. It still orange peels, and I'm thinking of wet sanding it with 400 or 1000 and then buffing it, but I just don't think it's the right kind of paint. Lacquer or enamel would be good, but someone told me they'll crack on the flexible plastic.

And another thing, black is absolutely the hardest color you could ever pick for paint. You could paint it white with frickin house paint and it would look awesome. (but then it would be white, which is gay as hell.) No offense to you white CBR owners out there

In the end I learned a lot about sanding and it's a bitch. Now I understand why someone would want 500 or a thousand bucks or more to paint all 8 pieces of plastic. but it cost me $50 to do the front cowl. both fenders, and the rear cowl and it'll last for a year so whatever.

Well that "someone need to try" is you, buddy.

If it's in good shape, just clean it and wet sand it with some waterproof 400 sandpaper, and clean it off again and spray that $hit.

 

SEM makes a plastic paint setup, complete with clears and primers to make sure all of it can flex with the plastic. Trick stuff, I use it at work all the time.

 

can you get more pics of the stablizer. that head would make a nice custom head reshaped bowls newvalves cams(as long as its not cracked)

 

Great job. You seem to be quite the perfectionist. The paint really looks great. I wish I had your skills!
