[Baad2003mach1]

I think I'm going to plastidip my white plastics, white on my bike, lol. I want the matte look

 

[Baad2003mach1]

i did a base coat of black on everything bc of the way it sticks better. there is a video on youtube about white plastidip that explains why. but spraying white onto white you might not have anything to worry about.

As a fellow Plasti-Dipper myself - that looks like some clean work. Nicely done.

Nice! I have a black xb12s with the amber wheels. I was wondering how it would look white. I like it!

 

[sky56]

That looks really sharp that's for sure! Good job. Wouldn't have known it was plasti dip if you didn't say anything

 

[JustinMT]

Nice! Did my entire Nitro R/T in black.. Did you clear it? I heard it'll last a hell of a lot
Longer if you do, plus you can still peel it.

DrogeN Omen,

What fairing do you have on there? Looks like a GSXR set up. How hard was it to mount up? Any chance you have a build thread on it?

 

[Sir Tragen]

Wow! I am thinking that fist picture, with the snow/frost in the background, would be a great December or January choice for the 2015 BuellXB.com calendar.

 

[DrogeN Omen]

i do have a build thread somewhere.

was pretty easy though, ordered all off ebay:
- GSXR 600 K5 fairing mount $60
- Front fairing $170
- Headlight $120
- Indicators $15

2x cans plastidip

Hey Baad2003mach1, did you use the glossifier over the white p-dip? looks very good BTW [up]

I know all about plastidip...my Jeep has been dipped for a year and a half now. I've dipped various other cars, all kinds of colors. Favorite color was the camo tan on my jeep by far. When I get home from this deployment, I'm spraying over the camo tan, with camo green

i used it on my forks

 

[Baad2003mach1]

haha the first pic up there does look like snow lol. its just black and white with color splash! but would be cool to be in the calendar!

I didn't use any of the clear on the dip. I like the flat look

 

[fireinxb]

I just dipped my rear framerails, windscreen, and tail. Will update thread later!

You guys big fans of plasti-dip? That stuff is so fragile, if you so much as look at it the wrong way, it scratches/blemishes.

 

[fireinxb]

It's worked great for me so far, I had my tank cover dipped all of last summer and it still looks great - so i made the plunge to dip a few more things. Time will tell on that. Make sure you prep the surface well and apply a bunch of coats though.

 

[Baad2003mach1]

like 8 coats of white on top of black base coat on all my pieces
