Hey Ran, I tried doing the side thingy when I was making custom indiglo gauges a few years back. It was way too time consuming and cut into my riding time. I don't wanna go through that again(ranman @ Jan. 15 2007,13:12)start up a side project painting inner pannels
Anyone remember my custom indiglo gauges I use to make ?

No kiddin, If your doing that stough yourself you could be making a killing doing it yourself.(Rhythm @ Jan. 15 2007,12:42)If SG painted his own bike, than I would say he's got some mad skilz in the paint dept(Over_Easy @ Jan. 15 2007,12:13) SG does his own work, I believe.
I just hope my innards will come out that nice when completed. BrendanP is going to offer me some advice on how-to..
Good luck on painting your inners and hope everything works out for ya.

(Rhythm @ Jan. 16 2007,06:20)For beginners painting automotive and motorcycles (plastic) I would recommend using a product sold at Nappa automotive stores called Martin Seynor paint. Some Nappa automotive stores offer paint matching for free using a handheld color matching device they can hold up against the part you want color matched, making you a quart or gallon.
Martin Seynor online tutorial is very user friendly. Their online guidline will instruct what paint products to use for prepareing and painting the part (plastic or metal). Along wtih different recommend air pressure ( at the compressor and gun) for use with various types of paint gun using their different paint products.
Here are a couple photos of my first paint project when I painted my inners including my first speaker mod I fabricated into the inners.
Photos of my inners being baked (cureing) in my jerry rigged ovenhead bake oven,speeding up the cure process.
And another photo of my custom enlarged undertail with a dropped floor that I colored matched using Martin Seynor paint.
Rhythm, 1st of all nice JOB!!!! My ? to you is how did you get rid of that grainy look?

paint job looks bada$$!!
Ty, did you do a write-up or pictorial of the undertail storage extension? I thought about doing mine as well, but haven't gotten around to it. Any help or insight on it is appreciated. Still need to paint my inners also. Just too tired of prepping parts for a little while. Looks great man.
