KAMIKAZE Posted April 18, 2012 Report Posted April 18, 2012 hey guys thought i would post this up my mrs was sick of the hacked up blue plastics on her banshee so instead of spending big bucks replacing them with pink ones i decided to paint them now i am not a painter or anything like that just keen to give things a go started with the blue plastics wax n greased them scotchbrighted wax n grease again sanded wax n grease again now its ready for some action used a plastic primer and a adhesion promotor with a flex additive in the paint looks a little something like this plastic primer first coat second coat final coat clear coat so this is how it looks its a bit of a random colour just a metallic pink pearl i had mixed up the underside is also painted going to give it a few days before we fit them up to allow them to fully dry but pretty happy with the end result thoughts?

Looks like you bought them that color, Very Nice! How much Dough do you have into all the work ? Labor Intensive I bet. Quote
donkeypuncher Posted April 18, 2012 Report Posted April 18, 2012 Looks like you bought them that color, Very Nice! How much Dough do you have into all the work ? Labor Intensive I bet. Did you really just quote every damn picture? Lol They look pretty good kaze. The color is pretty tight. Did you use any flex agents in the paint? Quote
KAMIKAZE Posted April 18, 2012 Author Report Posted April 18, 2012 cheers guys yeah the paint has a flex additive in it it took a morning to remove/sand/prep the plasticxs then the next morning until about 1pm to get them primed and painted all the materials cost $100 for everything got a mate that works at a automotive paint supply shop so got a good deal there ha ha Quote
KAMIKAZE Posted April 18, 2012 Author Report Posted April 18, 2012 cheers guys she picked up pink shock covers too but is undecided if she wants to put a graphics kit on or not personally i would as there is still some scratches in the plastics that were a bit deep n a couple imperfections plus the stickers will protecht it a little, but at the end of the day its her bike Quote
S10RACER Posted April 18, 2012 Report Posted April 18, 2012 looks good I Just did mine with Krylon Fusion and they turned out excellent we will see how it holds up this weekend first ride out with it done. Quote
