painted the bike using Hot rod black. its an enamel so no clear coat is needed. but its strong and if I mess it up easy to reshoot.

Is that just a rattle can job?!? Looks Great! Did you sand it all down first or just paint straight over? Also did you remove the tank graphic first?

its not rattle can. it a one step enamel. it has hardner in it and its durable. I did the gas gap first and wiped it several times with Gasoline after it had dried a day and it was fine, I couldnt tell I had put gas on it at all.

I sanded the decal off and had to primer the tank to fill in places where I sanded to much. sanded everything with 600 grit and painted it . let it sit for a day and put it all back together.

Also lowered it 2 inches.

You need the Low and Mean full fender now. That would look sick!


On a side note....what are you using for a tail light mount. I like the way you have it tucked

[bozzly]

Man, that is a really nice black Jon. Great job.

 

[dliszews]

Great look. How does the enamel hold up to surface scratching?

 

[jtodd]

It so far doesn't scratch. I got it very dusty the other day and just dry wiped it off . I couldn't tell any difference. No scuffs or any scratches
