how did you do the plastics? or are they brought parts? bike looks awesome by the way, very mean looking
Ones you go Plasti-Dip you'll never...ummm...wait...actually no, you can peel it off and just go back...all hail the almighty Plasti-Dip Y'alls bikes look so much better on the dark side...mine just came like that from the factory
love the look of a dark supermoto, wouldn't mind my 511 dark and muddy waters, is it your 610 that has that very nice led tail light?
damn these black bikes look good! nice job RDTCU , and yeah muddy that looks good i like that, wish i could fab something like that with a plate mount, they don't like the plates mounted inside the rear in the UK
I´ve got a can of primer and am now waiting for delivery of the Plasti Dip. I only hope it´ll look as good as the pics of your bike. Side panels are the first to be done. How many cans will I need for the headlight, front and back? And did you use the transparent coating? PS Why didn´t you do the dog while you were at it?
Like Jason said, you don't need the primer, just wash it down with soap and water and let it dry. I used about 4.5 cans doing the headlight trim, front fender, fork guards, side panels and tail, but I did lay it on pretty thick. I also thickened it up a bit on the bottom of the fender and tail to help it hold up to rocks and such. If you want a smooth finish, go with fairly heavy coats, it's "self-levelizing" and smooths out nicely. I wanted a more textured, matte look, so after a few heavy coats, I did the last coat very light, and from further away, more of a mist than actually spraying on the parts. The droplets will settle and bond, but not flood the surface, which leaves you with a textured finish. And as for the dog, I don't think he would sit still for that...
Thanx! That wuz helpful. So I´ll order a few more cans (the amount of white on the 630 is somehow embarrassing and some Harley drivers have even dared to accost me). PS Glad you didn´t do it to the dog as they´re my favourites
Yeah, I tottally agree. Black SM is the way to go. RDTCU should ask for royalties. he got the ball rolling here!
Credits to RDTCU ! I did it, because of the pictures of his post. I used about 3,5 cans of Black and 3/4 can of Red. No primer... also put some stickers on it afterwards. They stick well on the plasti dip. @organ donor: Where you orderd it? I bought plasti dip at conrad electronic store (Mannheim). conrad electronic is the distrubute for plasti dip in Germany and i think there should be a conrad electronic in Berlin too... ;-)
Hmm i want to try this! I'm intrigued now... is this the stuff? http://www.plastidip.co.uk/eStore/i...lack,Blue,Clear,Red,White,Yellow&pid=PDL-0009
All look great! I'll try to get some better pictures tonight, NOT in my messy shop. I added some gray husky decals on the fender and tail.
good just have to find something to try it on, wouldn't mind my 511 in a black dress and really? why you get everything so cheap! hahah
