looks way nice, i like the paintjob. how does the 2+ -1 effect your odometer/ speedometer?

 

Is that a can paint job or do you have youre own paint gun.If it was a can job what did you use? Ho long was the paint/body process and what did it involve

 

Tangelo...not rally sure as to how much my speedomoeter is off, but I know it is. I was told its around 5-10 moh depending on how fast your going.

530Chain...No gun, purely can controlBut seriously, I did use spray cans. I used regular Dupli Color paint from an auto parts store because they have a wide range of colors. The trick to make it look, or somewhat look, like a "real" paint job was the clearcoat. Its a European company called UPOL. You can get their clear coat in cans and it works great! Its thick and has a high gloss finish. As long as you put enough coats, it will shine and no one can tell, or hardly tell, that it was spray painted. The process of filling holes, cracks etc, then sanding, priming, sanding again, and painting, took about 3 weeks of on-and-off work. But I did have alot of filling and sanding to do.

 

I have to say that is an awsome can job!

where did you get the UPOL clearcoat from?

 

I love that 2-tone!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Very Sweet looking bike

NICE JOB!!!!!!

 

The headlight decal makes it look like a mid 90's YZF. It's my opinion but i dont like it. I'd trash the decal. Other than that it's a good scheme. Out of curiosity, what made you choose can paint?

 

Thanks for the compliments guys!

Clemson725...as for my decal, I think Im gonna keep it. It makes the bike look different from usual F3s. As for my decision on cans...well, I was going to have a buddy of mine paint it at his shop, but he didnt have time, so I took all my parts back and did all the work myself. I dont own a gun, nor did I want to learn at that point (very frustrated because I couldnt ride the bike for so long), so I did what I knew how to do...spray paint. Also, I think theres a very wide range of colors availbel via spray can, which allowed me to choose what I really wanted to do. I know theres a lot more colors that can be mixed, but the money was an issue. Im happy with it as is...and pretty proud of myself for accomplishing something I'd never imagine of doing.

 

very nice paint scheme - me likie.

 

it looks awesome buddy
