I'll take video of me next time I paint something. You can use it as a training "How not to" Title: Re: Paint challenge? Unpainted $89 cowls at MonsterParts. Post by: He Man on January 31, 2010, 09:47:44 AM spray paint is cheap and you can get it looking pretty decent with an aftermarket clear coat.
but it also isnt too expensive to have someone hit it with a single color w clear since its a small piece and ready to paint. Title: Re: Paint challenge? Unpainted $89 cowls at MonsterParts. Post by: Slide Panda on January 31, 2010, 09:56:14 AM After market clear? Like?
If you take some time, you can get rattle can work to look prety damn good. I painted an old Vespa with rattle cans and it looked great. Gimmie a bush, and I'm a paintin' fool - and yes I am that nerdy (http://yuu.smugmug.com/photos/651825738_BpwVL-L-2.jpg) Title: Re: Paint challenge? Unpainted $89 cowls at MonsterParts.

You can't use epoxy clears or color for applications which include exposure to UV.Title: Re: Paint challenge? Unpainted $89 cowls at MonsterParts.

Ive got a Kremlin AAA and a booth but I aint no Rembrant... Many paint supply stores will sell you a single use spray can with 2 component materials.It's more money than cheapo krylon, but it gives the opportunity to use the good stuff.

Uv protection is pretty important isnt it. :P Well then, look for something else. I actually paid a body shop to clear my tank. cost me $60. im sure they can clear yours for much cheaper.

Post by: He Man on January 31, 2010, 07:43:33 PM or mail it to ducpainter, thats what i did with my last unpainted cowl that would cost more than having it painted locally and buying the guy lunch and a 6 pack. (he doesn't live on our continent) Title: Re: Paint challenge? Unpainted $89 cowls at MonsterParts.

Post by: He Man on February 01, 2010, 06:56:43 AM stopintime, shipping that cowl would be in the range of a little under 50 bucks each way without commercial discounts

Post by: stopintime on February 01, 2010, 07:46:10 AM stopintime, shipping that cowl would be in the range of a little under 50 bucks each way without commercial discounts No need to think about shipping since it would get lost anyway ;D Buy it - throw it away - much cheaper [cheeky] I shipped my Schuberth helmet to Germany today for some warranty work. If He Man stays off the case I might get lucky and have it back in a couple of weeks [thumbsup] ;) Title: Re: Paint challenge? Unpainted $89 cowls at MonsterParts.
