so i have an idea in my head about what i want my bike to look like. basically all white fairings with white rims, black frames and swingarm. rims are white already, so im good there. the frames are silver... my question is does anyone know of a good spray paint to paint these parts that is strong and wont chip or scratch easily? i was doing some research and found PJ1 frame epoxy was some pretty good stuff. im thinking about going with this stuff if i cant find anything better. i know i should just get them powder coated, but i dont want to take my bike apart or spend the money.

 

anyone? has anyone painted their frame using any other method then powder coating?

 

i actually had the same idea as you with white and black but i sprayed my rims,frame and swingarm black. you can powder coat all of them but its way too expensive and honestly waste of money. i striped down my bike and covered the motor and sanded down the frame with a scuff pad and used just regular spray paint from kragen or any automotive store and put like 3 or 4 coats and it looks perfect and its been 2 years and hasnt chipped or flaked.

 

thats what i was gonna do too.. im just looking for a good spray. i guess ill just have to look when i get home.

 

i can tell you right now spray paint wont hold up on a swing arm (i guess this depends alot on your roads, but here it wouldnt hold up)... youde probably be fine on the frame though

 

i dont have a lot of gravel or road debris in my town. so i think im good there, but thats why im trying to find a strong spray paint so it doesnt chip easily. has anyone used PJ1 fast black spray paint? or maybe have any pics of a spray painted frame and/or swingarm?

 

My swing arm is painted but has 3 coats of clear enamel on it has about 500 miles on it.

 

got any pics?

 

That's all I got

 

I grabbed this paint the other day it's a branch from Dupli Color not sure how good it is. It costs about $7 a can.
