Default how to battle proof your bike....

ok ok so i was going to do a how to about painting a bike for under $100 dollars....its been going great and comming out amazing.....then i was throwing some 55 gal drums in the bed of a truck and realized that even though they weigh 200 lbs. partially full theyre not even scuffing the truck.....YATZEE MA****RZ~!

so i called this company speedliner(just like rhino liner but they use a tougher polymer and its easier to apply)

and guess what?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!

They told me to go return the remainder of my paint and bring THEM THE $100

i'll let you guys know in a week or two how it turns out....

Yeah, but would it protect the fairings from getting rashed? I know the paint is durable, but would the plastic fairings buckle underneath the coating?

Hmmmmm. If it would, this stuff would be great.

Got a update? And are you removing all plastics and having them shoot them or are you doing it?
