haha thats my white bike on here

 

here is mine when it was white




it was nice looking, but man was it a PITA to keep clean!!!

 

Yeah that is pretty clean looking. I already wash and wax my bike at least every few weeks so keeping it clean is not really all that bad for me. Thanks for the pictures. I'm actually gonna prime it today

 

Are you doing the painting yourself or having someone else do it?
If you're having it done how much is it running you? i want to paint my bike. well actually i just want it without the decals, i like the paint but i just know removing the decals will either take the paint with it or it will be faded so was considering having it painted

 

no I'm talking I had to clean it every couple of days....

 

I mean i wash it down and wipe it down and after ever ride and by wash I mean detail it so idk haha. I had a guy prime it for free and was going to get him to spray the color but after seeing the primer good I'm looking into finding someone to just spray it cause basically all prep work is done. I'll let ya know

 

make sure it was a good primer... I used SEM flex primer... about $13/ can and had problems with adhesion and fish eyes. Yes the surface was prepped correctly. I was a Supervisor at a Military Grade Paint Facility for the last 2 years. So I had to restrip everything, used military grade primer and it seemed to work good. Just remember the oils from your hands will show up on your paint if you dont wipe it down with cleaner. rubbing alcohol or acetone works well.

 

Yeah I bought primer proven on the ABS plastics, talked to a painter that really knew his stuff and highly recommended what I used

 

 

that looks awesome! (except for the K&N sticker)

Did you spray tint your headlight? It looks darker... like it... wonder if it cuts visibility much
