Navy blue...

Navy blue...
left some of the white as an accent.
too bad the paint peeled off with the tape from the rear feneder.
-
whooooops :(
-
Yeah, I was more that a little upset.
my next step is to buy the more expensive, very non-stick tape.
its 6-7 dollars MORE than what I paid for the tape I used.
gonna mask up the fender and hit it with the white.

You did use plastic primer right! 8)
-
cos if you didnt the spray will be blowing off your pride and joy as you go down the road (obviously not in real terms but im sure you get me),not having a pop at you bud just making sure thats all :) :)

..it's good to sand, then prime before painting..
..the sanding creates a roughness that the primer can grab hold of...
..primer is a MUST before painting anything that you want a lasting paint-job on...
peace
-
no...
no primer...
it looks like sh** on the rear fender due to the peeling of the intitial white coat.
will do it next time... yup, next time.
put it back together and I'm not sure about the blue, though I really like the accent stripe.
I really like the look of the purple "Antisocial" sticker I have on the rear panel.
hmmm....
purple....

..i generally even sand down the first coat of primer after its cured a day or two... with the smoothest paper i can get..even scotch-brite...wash it all down...let it dry, clean, and then spray another coat of primer..let it cure...sand...wash, dry clean..paint with color..cure...sand..wash, dry, clean...then paint again...
;D
-
..then, if desired, start the process all over with clearcoat...
:o
-
Word, you're right.
thats the way to go for a proper job.
I'm just painting some of the matt black panels, not the original red ones.
I'll probably leave it for when a cold front blows through 'cause I won't be riding.
I'm a fair weather rider and in San Antonio, I can be.
-
..it's the same for the mattes...
..gotta start with a good primer base...
-
