  2. Get ahold of these guys. They will fix you up. www.cosmicquads.com
  3. First thing that should be done is clean it really really well with prep sol or any automotive prep cleaner. If it has ever had any thing with silicon base product it will fish eye on you. Then sand down 600,800, 1000,1500 grit. By then it should be very smooth. Then prep sol it again, then take a tac cloth to it. Now you will need a adhesive promoter I use bulldog. Once dry tac cloth it again. Now your ready for your primer. You will want to use a primer for plastic. When dry I wet sand it with 1000 or 1500. Wipe it down with prep sol. Now it's time for you base coat clear coat. You do not need a flex agent for base coat clear coat. Spray a few coats of base when dry or how ever long the tech sheets say to wait for clear. Lay down a few coats for clear. Make sure to follow the tech sheet specs. Then when dry yo can wet sand it down to get any dust that may have feel on it when clearing. Then buff out. I do it by hand. Should take to long to get the shine back. The product I have used is valspar base coat clear coat. You can find it in kits which comes with that hardner and reducer. I have only done one, and wasn't so sure how this would hold up. So when I was done I twisted and bent the plastic and nothing. Not a scratch or chip or crack. Now if you would bend it in half you might get it to crack, but then it may be hard to do. this has been done over a year ago and it still looks like it did the day I did it. Can't believe it I thought for sure after some tuff rides it would get damage, but not yet. Hope this helps ya. oh the one thing I didn't do and should of is ad some stuff for fish eye. I spent hours cleaning the plastic, but this one little spot just wouldn't go away.
  4. www.cosmicquads.com they do custom seats.
  5. What 530grafix said. For the frame powder coating would hold up best. For the plastic a base coat/clear coat will hold up foe a long time. At the same time you can't expect it to hold up to the elements forever. The key to a good paint job for plastic the all in the prep. Clean let say this again it has to be clean. If you have ever put any silicone products on your bike you will have problems painting it. I had to redo some plastic 3 or 4 times because I didn't get it all off. Also if you plan on sanding it at all make sure have it all clean or you'll grind the all the bad stuff into the plastic. A good prep cleaner and ad. promoter and a plastic auto primer. then your base/clear coat. Like said before like coats the more mils you put on it will make it crack. If you use a base/clear coat you do not need a flex agent. I would recommend a fish eye ad.
  6. Just talk to 2twin350s ( Cosmic Quads) that is what they do.
  7. Sure. Let's get the ball rolling.
  8. So far there hasn't been any problems. I haven't heard how the wiley seat is holding up. I do know the Ride the lightning seat has had some ride time. Still looks great. I don't see there will be any problems with it. The only things I see that may cause a problem with it. One getting a lot of water between the canvas an clear vinyl. Like left out in a down pour or blasting it with a hose when washing the bike. Or left in out in the sun all the time may cause fading, but what wont if left out in the sun to beat on it. I'm still trying to find a paint or clear that will stick to the vinyl. I feel this way would be faster and provide a better product. Some long term testing will be done for that before I feel it's good to sell. I really don't think anyting I use will hold up for ever. Stock stuff don't, but I still want to provide a good product that will last for some time. Also far as movement between the canvas and vinyl. There is very little and I don't see the vinyl rubbing the paint off the canvas.
