if you can do it to a guitar why not a bike

So I was on you tube... Seen this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDfbLyJnbe4&feature=youtube_gdata_player and thought well I've got a scratched right pod and a new one in a box so lets try. First I plasta dipped it just in case I wanted to take it off.

I wish i got a picture of the fined area before because it was gray. I discovered that if you spray it let it dry then take it off it looks like new as you can see in this next picture

well I didn't like it I let my kid pick the colors lol

and that's what it looks like coming off so this weekend I'm going to play around some more with it and see what i can come up with

Defiantly has potential. [up]

I'm thinking about try some white and black. Going to have to work on getting a cool swirl going

Hows the plastidip holding up to the heat? I was going to do a belly pan but didnt know if it would stand the temps?

 

[Retrax]

Someone on here did their chin spoiler and was wondering the same thing. He reported it stood up to the heat and rock chips so it's worth a try.

 

[stensg]

I'm not sure yet going to give it a try again this weekend i did get my windscreen done though

Without the mirrors the 1125r reminds me of Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon

 

[buellbradski]

I like it what exactly did you use is it model air plane paint? And you must have to clear coat after right?

 

[stensg]

Bolty there bar end mirrors just hard to see in that picture.
Buellbradski are you talking about the pod or the windscreen? The screen i just painted the inside of it with the plasta dip. The pod I pinned with plasta dip first then I used some borax in water. Then I laid model paint onto the water and dipped the pod into it. I didn't like the looks of the colors so I pulled it off since I put it over the plasta dip

 

[snrusnak]

I agree definitely potential there and cheap! Is it durable? Could clear coat over it I suppose...

 

[stensg]

Ya I plan on trying it without clear and seeing how long it lasts then I might try with clear. If it lasts a season thats fine with me ill have a new bike every season then lol

 

[buellbradski]

Yes i was talking about the borax and paint in water trick i like it for sure! Dont know if i could use it on my buell but i may toy with it on other things. [up]+1 for the idea

[stensg]
