Cool - When the title said Bright I was expecting Corvette Yellow.
Have you ever figured out how much money you have spent changing colors - what 3 or 5 times a year?
How much time from start to finish does it take you?
I suppose you have it down to a science now, right?
And one more:
Are you married and if so, does your wife approve of all the money and time spent getting a new bike numerous times a year?
I think one of my future colors may be Blaze Yellow since I running out of basic colors to do, lol. After seeing this color in person, I'm really considering it.
This is the 5th time I've dipped it since 2013, but to be fair it's the 4th time I've dipped it since August-ish of 2015. I also dipped the whole Raptor July 2015.
As far as money, the first dip (white) cost me $205 shipped because I bought the dip and their gun setup. It takes a gallon to do the bike including mirrors and nitrous bottle, so once you have the gun (or already own a Wagner-type of gun) a gallon can be as cheap as $55. Adding pearls to it adds a little bit of cost, but regular pearls are only $15 (for a gallon of dip). Of course, the color changing pearls are more expensive with the Hypershift being the most expensive of the pearls but also has the most drastic color change too. If you decide you want a gloss finish you can get away with only using a quart of TopCoat for $25. So you can get away doing it for under $100 pretty easily but could double the price as well or some where in between.
Not including the gun, the white was the cheapest since I didn't use a base coat, pearl or TopCoat. The most expensive Hayabusa dip I've done was the Hypershift ZTN which costed me right at $200 sipped. I've also done my old Ford Raptor and got it on a promo and costed me $328 shipped (light blue and black, no pearl or clear).
An hour to wash and dry the bike, an hour to pull fairings off, maybe an hour max to tape lights and misc parts, an hour to spray and an hour to put it back together, an hour to cut out new graphics and apply......so 5hrs of work total. I usually wash/dry the bike, remove fairings and wipe them down Friday, spray it saturday when I wake up and re-install & graphics Sunday.
Plasti-Dip makes me look good. It self levels and really easy to spray. Worse part is taking bike apart and putting back together, lol. Yep I'm married and wife doesn't mind how often I dip it, although sometimes doesn't care for the color. For the most part I'd guess I've spent maybe $750 total for all 5 dips including the gun.
