Duplicolor Mirage Paint

[LowThudd]

Anyone ever use it? I am thinking of painting my Radian with it. I love the look of the Purple/green mirage paint, but I haven't seen "Actual" pictures other than those Duplicolor provides. I have to paint two of three pieces of my bike anyway. Was going to just spray bomb it gloss black to match the tank, but I might as well make it custom. Think it's too gawdy?

insert shitty "dude, don't do that" remark here.

I've seen it on a number of automobiles.



It's like a fine mist of ugly, carefully laid out over the entire body, then cleared for eternity.


If you like it, by all means, but other than *one* customized '57 Chevy I've seen with it, it's never looked good.

Friends don't let friends ride ugly bikes.

Don't do it.

That paint had its day....It's like 2010 man 

I'd stick with a nice black

Red is faster.

What? No yeas? Bummer. I have yet to see any actuall pictures of the Purple/green and it's the only color I liked. So I guess it's a pass. I am also flirting with the idea of Mike Lavalee flames. Probably not your style either. But the true fire look is pretty nice. Not sure if I can do it my self, but I do have his how to video.

Red is faster.

Black is cooler

OK, now you guys are getting under my skin. Lol. Don't think I won't paint it magenta just to spite you! Oh, wait...no I won't.

[cokey]

eh, i say don't be a drone..  do it..

[DesmoDiva]

Red is faster.

and Yellow is fastest!!



I say go for it.   

No one but you has to like or ride your bike, but you.

I was contimplating that color scheme for my monster before I sold it. 

[LowThudd]

At least I'm not the only one. Whatever I do I think I'm goin to use this to clear it.



Alot cheaper than having it cleared by a pro. I'll probably just go with a 1k primer/filler.

I dare you.  Better yet, Mirage with magenta flames and skulls!

I say do what you want.  But, I saw a suzuki painted with mirage paint and it looked like what it was, a poor rattle can job with a uniform orange-peal.  On the other hand I was at a local shop just a few days ago and the owner pointed out a mirage paint that came from House-of-Color.  It looked like awesome stuff, he hadn't yet painted a bike with it yet, but everything I've seen from House-of-color looks cool to me.  The difference in price from the rattle cans is like 100 times. I admit, I like bright, shiny things.  Bikes should catch your eye, not be flat or dull.
