Self spray job

[scottiel]

Me and my mate sprayed our race bike at the weekend.Please be gentle with the sacrastic comments.

[instigator]

No sarcastic comments here, I think it looks mint!

[proximity]

hehe clever. Heres me thinking you sprayed it pink, thought it was crap and then did it silver!

An anodised purple bike!

[scottiel]

It was a pain in the arse doin the nose and seat as we had to paint half let it dry, next day mask off then paint other side, let it dry, next day laquer it, but worth it in the end, we are going to do our other bike the same but the silver and purple the other way round.

Are you racing in the steel frame series? If you are you'll be seeing me and a mate of mine at the races, he's racing a CBR6 in it.

Yes we will be racing in the Pre 97 class, First race is at Mondello on the 20th of march. Not sure if second bike will be pre 97 or supersport yet.

You are preaching to the converted here. I once had a 350 powervalve which was streetfightered and finished in gold-metalflake purple with gold drag-bars and purple anodised bits (back when purple anodised bits were a new and quite cool thing to have).

Yes I admit it, I was a tart in my former life, but I got over it.

You wouldn't be interested in posting a little beginners guide to painting a bike as you've done a cracking job - I assume this wasn't the first time you painted a bike?

Pink to make the boys wink

[Visitor Q]

Great jobs lads, i would also be interested in how and how much, as i might have some stone chip damage to sand down and paint out on the new bike.

The Paint used on the left hand side is call Iris (purple)it is a Kia (car company) colour and the right hand side was sprayed with Audi TT silver. Total cost of paint, tinners, hardener, laquer, tape etc was about £70.00 - £80.00.

The biggest pain was the time factor, one day Iris (purple), next day silver, next day laquer.

Oh yes and two days rubbing it down.

We are going to do the wheels when we have time and all the stickers still have to go on.

This is the first we have sprayed a bike.

[McJamweasel]

I actually like that. Very groovy.

What are your plans for the wheels?

We plan on racing it very fast!!!!!!!!!!

See you trackside then! Look out for number 67, Adam West. It's a '92/93 model CBR600 in black and silver, sponsored by Pidcock Motorcycles. It's putting out about 108bhp at the back wheel at the mo, it's quite tuned up to say the least

Gah, I only looked at the first two pictures, didn't realise the other side was silver.

Looks bloody gorgeous.

Yes we used a compressor. Basically we rubbed the parts down with 400/600 wet and dry, then rubbed it all with normal thinners.
Mixed the paint with paint thinners 1 to 1 mix then applied two or three lights coat.
Once both colours were done let it all dry then
mixed laquer 2 parts laquer to 1 part hardener, then same again applied two or three light coats.
Now because some parts were half and half we had to leave it for a day to dry before applying laquer, but if you are doin it all one colour then u can apply the laquer as soon as the paint is touch dry, normally about 30 minutes.

Now we aint sprayers so not sure if this is the correct way but it worked for us.

[DisabledRider]

Wow, thats really nice. (100% honest ) But.. Why u choose pink and silver? Bit of a weird combination.. or is that wat u aimed for? So u stand out

Good work

Any chance making a little guide on what paint u used, preperation etc?

As me and a mate are thinking of getting a bike to share, and will be spraying it.

[scottiel]

We picked the colours because that is our company colours. Purple and Silver. It looks pinkist but it is purple.If you read over all the posts I have put details of how we did it etc.

What type of bike are you getting!!!!

[DisabledRider]

Well were not sure, but for my nxt personal bike i think im getting a honda nsr 125, custom paintjob on it already...

Even if we get a scrambler for offroad i will prob still spray it for that added feeling Lol

Okies thanks
