I used the $30 clear system from Color Rite. 3 coats of clear let dry 2 days then and most important wetsand. After initial clearcoat the finish will have the orange peel look. you have to wetsand or colorsand with 1500 to 2000 sandpaper then i buffed with 3m scratch remover(autozone). (do a web search for wet or colorsand for more info also check the pined paint post)
That was it. I worked a littel at a time after work. Again thanks for the comments
See I knew this would look good! I think Ill do this to all those pesky black panels that mess up the whole white, silver theme but a diff. design of course..
So the white showing is actually the primer underneath and the silver is painted over the white primer?
I have been studying to do this since I got the bike...just takes some elbow grease. This mod will be much easier for anyone with a solid colored bike. Mine has the stripes which will be a b*tch to match up because the grey stripe has a fade to it.
Thnaks, I'm going to note this thread...you may get a PM as well.
