After months of prep work, I've finally painted my bike. I wanted fully flat white, but it turned out to be more of a semi. The pictures look gloss-ish but I like it alot. Can't put all of them on yet. Still not FULLY dry. I'm going to do red rim tape with the red honda decal on the bottom. Any thoughts?

 

Very nice work there dude

Oh and lets not forget..... rim tape is for gays

 

And double bubble screens aren't?
Thanks man haha.

 

paint quality looks decent, especially for walmart/ace hardware paint. i'd be interested to see better pics of it and procedure since that's exactly what i'm doing right now.

 

Better pics will be up by Tuesday.

-I started sanding everything with 220.
-Used Bondo to fill in any cracks/holes
-Fiberglassed the back of any large cracks.
-Sanded the tank and tail cowl (any big flat pieces) with 80 on a DA.
-Primed everything.
-Wet sanded everything.
-Primed/Wetsanded everything again
-Bought 5 dollar Satin white and a sheet of plastic.
-Covered a table with the plastic.
-3 coats for fairings.
-4 coats for tank.

 

i didn't think bondo was flexible enough for plastics?

 

The bondo is for very small cracks/nicks. Worked great.

 

ahh. why not a flexible plastic filler instead of bondo?

 

Didn't have any. Plus it was only on the edges. Which are the most sturdy and stable

 

i used a soldering iron to melt my cracks back to gather, filled level with jb weld then smoothed out with bondo.
so far no troubles whatsoever....
