Hey that doesn't look bad at all, black is a hard color to paint. Did you use bc/cc or acrylic enamel?

[Astro4x4]

Looks good, did ya shoot that outside?

For powder coating http://www.mmpowdercoating.com/

[Ej1rider]

its a bc/cc dupont style lol... see the first pic is a rattle can job by me also, but then i effed up the gas tank so i decided to redo it the right way

I think Sasquatch does powder coating...and maybe Jimmy too (HS2020).

[kevin2502000]

Have you wet sanded or buffed it out yet?

[Ej1rider]

^^^ not yet

Holy chit that looks A-1 for being sprayed outside. I got junk in my primer spraying it outside, so no way I'm laying clear down without some protection! Which Dupont line? I'm Dupont's Nason line.

[Ej1rider]

uhhh im not sure what line it was, i went to the local paint place, it was like 180/quart thats all i know lol

[kevin2502000]

That looks awesome for not being buffed yet!!! And at least you have some protection from gasoline with the good cc.

[Ej1rider]

yeah i did 3 coats of clear i was gonna do 4 but i didnt have enough

[Katpilot36]

Nice!!!

[Ej1rider]

ok i finally got around taking some pics of the fairings installed, bike is dirty but oh well here it is












next stop is powdercoating the wheels black lol
