RNBRAD Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 Does anyone know if krylon fusion works well on the stator cover?My son wants me to paint his stator cover but I am not sure what paint to use .Thanks Mark 430251[/snapback] Yea should work great. Use a plastic prep cleaner first and I would lightly sand it with 600-800 grit then shoot. Quote
99Banshee Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 (edited) Ive never used the fusion paint but ive heard that it sucks.. I just sanded mine down a little with 1000 grit and painted it with a few coats and put automotive clear coat on it and it looks like it came like that from the factory... I painted mine reflex blue (Yamaha Blue) Edited October 27, 2005 by 99Banshee Quote
dawarriorman Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 Krylon fusion works great, won't chip or peel at all. The only problem with it, is that is not chemical resistant. Gas, brake and carb cleaners and so on will dissolve the paint. The main place to use it is on plastics that flex, because it won't peel. Something stiff and rigid like the stator cover, you could just use normal spray paint more than likely, and you'll be fine. Quote
J12480 Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 Works great. Just got done doing my plastics and side cover with it. If prept right will work fine. Quote
99Banshee Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 Anyone got any pictures of there own custom work...as far as paint.. Quote
J12480 Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 I finished the project since these pictures. Ill get some more this weekend out at the desert Quote
99Banshee Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 what color is that look's sweet Quote
J12480 Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 I did the frame in green powder coat with a silver flake in it. The plastics were done with the krylon silver. Also did the stator cover Ill get some pics up a little later. Didnt get any pics this weekend at the desert. First ride... my girl broke her arm and spent the rest of the trip in the hospital! Quote
bansheeryder_69 Posted November 1, 2005 Report Posted November 1, 2005 I painted my clutch cover and water pump cover with blue fusion, I have had it on for like 10 rides and theres no chips or anything in it and i did it with one can. This shit is good Quote
bizaarbanshee Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 Make sure you get it clean man..Armoral and stuff like that can fisheye or lift..It will work though..I did my water pump cover like that Quote
sandman121383 Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 cool. i wanted to paint a few things but i'll be skeptical till i try it. Quote
yamahammer_409 Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 Just for my 2 cents... I have had very good luck with krylon fusion. I have painted every thing from my truck interior, mining hat, a couple of pieces on my former z400. And looking to paint some on my banshee Let us know how it works Ryan J Quote
RIPPEN Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 All I did was just scuff it all up good and used brake clean (to get any oil or anything off) . Probably not the best prep job but the paint I used was wrinkle paint and it usually seems to hold up ok... Somethin a little different. RIPPEN Quote
