@playful & @regener8 -- Haters in the house!!

@moose Yes i did it all myself. I was inspired by "willduce" on these forums -- I am not the originator of this. BUT! Its very easy and very cheap. Its called "Herculiner" and you can buy it at your local AutoZone. You can buy a gallon of it with all the tools needed as a kit for about $80-90 and you will have more than enough to do multiple coats, Or you can do as I did and buy it by the quart for $25 and then get a seperate foam roller/pan etc. I had to buy 2 quarts, but didnt use all the second one. Then theres a seperate "kit" for the foam brush/pan/scuff pad/etc for $11. So i spent around $75 for the entire thing. If you want/need more instructions then I can help you out!

BTW! @regener8ed -- You must know the whole story before judging And no, it added hardly any weight whatsoever. Maybe a few ounces. Take a crap before you go out and youre back to even

He asked I told em my opinion, it looks like shyt, make the bike look cheap, n most def would make it harder to cuz of the fact that shyt would be hard to get off if you or future owner wanted to do a real paint job.

each his own n all, but I rather roll with cracked fairings stitched together with zipties than rhino line my bike

I'll have to agree with PlayfulGod...

I picked my F4 up off a kid not to long ago, and he had it rhino lined. Honestly it looks cheap and kinda crappy. I'm in the process of sanding all the plastics and tank down..what a P.I.T.A!

Id much rather have new looking, uniform color, no deep scratches/cracks for less than $100 instead of trying to track down good plastics spending HUNDREDS and THEN having them professionally preped and painted for upwards of $1000. All for a 12 year old bike? Yeah ill go for the $75 job that will come out with almost the same look

Everywhere ive been so far with my bike Herculined, almost *everyone* compliments it and says how badass/mean it looks, then proceeds to ask a million questions about it. Take it for what its worth, im very satisfied with my transformation.
