I have the NON le and would like to have a black frame...with out taking the bike down to nothing and having the frame PCed...can you have the frame painted?
i just did mine, iv vdone many,,,all i do is take the backe tire off mask what i dont want painted and then primer/paint, clear. with out clear the paint will be raw and gas and such will take it right off.....hope this helps ,i cane do it in about 2 hours total..
pics r from my cell so there not the best,,,,i only paint the part of the frame that you can see with fairngs on...
from where?u can op for some blk frame covers
i use auto paint.primer base clear. so aound the rear sets will be fine.its when you leAve raw paint that it chips off
done over 30 busas, I recommend againist it everytime. It is not powder coat. It will scratch with your fingernail just like a hood will. Your boot is much harsher than a fingernail.....you'll see.
frame spars near the rearsets never hold up...so if you plan to paint...be prepared to do it over and over again.
i painted my frame but not the swingarm it came out niceI've got to agree with suzuki4life on this one. I would be very wary of painting a swingarm. I would think that all the road grim, sand and dirt that flies off your chain is going to sandblast that paint right off you swingarm in a short time even if you use a quality paint. Clearcoat is hard but it isn't powdercoat. Just my $.02
