F@ck my bike!

[bigjohn141]

i hit em with bull dog and smoothed them out and primed them with the color-rite base but it just came out messed up wasted an entire can too lol

Shouldnt that be... Smooth them then bulldog then prime with a primer then sand then base then clear?

 

[jboogey84]

yea dat too

You should have cleaned them with lacquer thinner. Sprayed 2-3 coats of Bulldog. Then 1-2 coats of flexible primer. Let dry. Watersand with 1200 grit paper. Then 1-2 coats of flexible primer again. Let dry. Watersand with 1200 grit paper. Until panels are smoothe. No texture left from factory plastic. Repeat if necessary. Then color rite paint, then clearcoat.
This is NOT a 1 hr or even 2 hr paintjob! This takes time and preperation! Honestly, If you asked me to do this job, I would be very hesitant to do it for anybody!

Reason being,when you are trying to match a factory color for a customer, especially when the panels you are painting, match up to (or for better words) a factory panel, good luck! You are spraying fresh paint (that is supposed to match according to the company you are buying it from) to a bike that may be exposed to weather and or sun/heat conditions..
If you do not have the bike at your shop, you are taking a big gamble.
What people that dont know (And Joseph will tell you this) when you bring you car to the body shop for work, there are many times that the only way to get a good match from one panel to the other is to "Blend into" the factory panel! Then, nobody can tell.
Very hard to do whe I am doing your inners and the rest of your bike is 1500 miles away!!!

dont mean to butt in but this is VERY TRUE. On a further not if each coat of ANYTHING is not just DRY but CURED it will screw up the next step. If it feels dry DOES NOT MEAN DRY OR CURE! You may know this already I just felt I should mention it just in case.

Or do like me and hit everything with some cheap ass flat black LOL but thats prolly why my bike looks like poop compared to everyone else's. lol

 

[runeight]

heard enough bad things about race ready dont need anymore headaches

Smart move.

Some things are better left to someone else. There is a trick to painting inner panels due to the release agents used when they are pressed.

Send them off. Be happy.

You're not the only one who has thought that painting stuff looks easy! Been there done that...although I can't say I ever had the balls to try paint my busa.

 

[Projekt]

Drink a Beer or.... Six...

You are capable of a proper paint projekt.

Just pace yourself and try not to get frustrated. Do it to relax.

 

[Scipione420]

Dude?? You know people try to help you out and you turn around and fuk em that aint cool!! What comes around goes around! You fuked up your panels and Joe took care of you and now your gonna screw him out money? Im glad i didnt offer to do em for ya!
