MY QUESTION
dear mike,
im in love with the color of your bike i readed that you did 4 shades of black Gloss semi-gloss etc etc can you maybe give us a bit more details ? ex. collor codes and did you painted your whole bike first one shade after that a new layer of a another shade etc. please tell us
HIS ANSWER
I used spray paint from Pep Boys and Lowe's. Gloss black Rustoleum for the frame and side frame covers, satin black wheel paint from Pep Boys on the wheels, flat black Rustoleum on the controls and some other bits, satin black engine paint on the engine, and flat black engine paint on the tank and body (both from Pep Boys). The cafe fairing came with a gloss black coat. Clubman bars came black. Oh, and gloss black on the tank's instrument panel housing. I even used gloss black rustoleum oil paint with a brush on some of the hard to mask/spray frame areas. Lots of careful prep work, sanding, and cleaning with acetone gave good results. Thanks for your interest! cut and paste this into the thread if you want to, but I think all this is somewhere up the thread. I don't get on the forum much.
