Re: My rattle can paint job.

Catch - Stunt Cage.

Looks dope, like a factory stunt bike. The rear tail plastics set it off right.

why do you like the rear tail so mutch? it looks sharp but i would love knowing i have the option of picking up a birddog and not being ****blocked by my solo tail not that that happens everyday or ever a blue moon but just know i dont have that option would be like a little discomforting but hey thats just me, i dont know how you roll...

im not dissing your bike, its damn :YEAH already and the rattle job EVEN on the tank looks semi pro. what kind of sandpaper did you use to scuff it before you put the primer on?? holler back.. im painting mine too now so ill post pictures of how my turned out just as sic if you offer me a few pointers..

fellow stunters know how to be good looking out, thanks for the link, what stickers you have I have really good taste on design for a straight guy, if you dont believe me ill send you pictures of how I transformed a bike into a work of art with nothing but stickers and the right arrangements!!! my boy works at a luxury car tint/vinyl shop and he has taught me well, even offered me a job i was so good!!

you came here hoping everybody likes your paint well, its a good start but like you said it will probably not stay the same for long so I will help you make it even better just help me in the future with stuff i am not so talented in like mechanics or whathave you are better at!

honda does make a stuntbike, its called the f4ezzzy and its easy to stunt,-- why do you streetfigher the front, just to trendy or does it serve a purpose like being able to see over the front end better when revving out the back end?

not hating here, but the right top shelf rattle can and spray adapter and patience and ill put money on the fact that you wouldnt be able to tell the difference even in person

sorry if you spent over 5 bills on a paint job already but ive got a procedure to paint plastics where you can save the lube and **** rape the paint pros will slap you with, $45 dollars is all you need and the bike will be mint looking as long as it runs its a mint piece in no time

i dont think my girlfriend would like me given girls rides, so the tailpiece is ok for now. plus i have the stock one that i can put on, i need a passenger seat and a lock first.

i used 150 grit on all the body panels (it was a primered race body already).
for the tank i used 80 grit and then 150 grit. there are still some scratches in the clear coat (they are minor, and can only been seen up close).
i gave it a few coats of paint from a bunch of different angles. (i hung eack piece from the roof of my garage so i could walk around them)

i wish the tank came out better, but im sure ill be redoing it again ina few months or so.
let me know if you have anymore questions, ill try to answer them.
thanks for everyones comments

i personally dont like the streetfighter look.
if i was gonna stunt a streetfighter i would get a dirtbike or something

i have another set of plastics too, when i put those on ill get new ones so i never have to rock it street fightered.
again, just personal preference.
