ok...i am painting my bike gloss black i already sanded the front and got it painted..should i use clear???? if so is ther e atrick to using it??let me know..thanks i noticed if you got like 6 inches away wth the paint it puts it on thick and shiny there are no ruff spots on it no runs or anyting...its ****in good lookin...i even cut my windscreen and **** down too...ima run fullfearings....woudl the clear be the same method as the paint??

 

your going to want to put about three coats of clear on gradually making them thicker and thicker, the first coat will look rough and shitty but thats okay. Then get closer and slower with the gun and lay it on as thick as possible w/out running the paint. without the clear your paint will look dull and gay, plus it will not last nearly as long so if you give a **** about your paint clear is a must........... next problem is if your posting this question it means you didn't clear it which was no smart bro cuz now in order to get that clear to hold to the paint you had clear it with in 24hrs if not you must wet sand everything before you clear it (unless you used a intercoat clear). if you get any dust or **** in the clear it can be sanded out with extremely fine wet sanding then use fine cut buffing compound and polish.

Some thing vary on the type of paint and clear you use ask you local paint store for the information sheets on the type of paint you are using they will help a lot, and how to mix each one............... always use a mask when painting and mixing clear because the hardener will fu(kin kill you man.

post some pics when your done though bro!!!

 

well its not dull at alll dude ...i was just worried about the clear and ****...can i not wait til tomarrow to clear it??? i just got the other **** painted its spray caned...but its badass its not shitty

 

boy i hate just walking past the spray paint isle at the store let alone paint my bike and not fuuck up LOL.

 

if you rattle canned it, you gotta use rattle can clear. Most clears you spray with a gun have solvents in them that will dissolve the rattle can paint and make it lift off.

 

use mexichrome!?

hey man hows it been?? i used krylon fusion plastic gloss black...then i used a cheap clear to go over it...and i built up the coats and it looks ****ing good as ****...its ridulious..all thats left is one side fairing...i cut down my windscreen like 4 or 5 inches too so i can tolerate to run full fearings..

 

I'v never had that problem

a few friends, and myself, have rattled our stuff, and had it professionaly cleared so it held up better
