    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

You're first task as a certified PPG painter is to persuade the good people of the GSR NOT to paint their gas tank with rattle-can spraypaint. :shock:
Life is too short for bad paint...
 
yes sir... i whole heartedly agree with you on that one!! rattle can is totally a waste of money... it's PooP that's all i can say about rattle can... i mean the instant you drop some gas on it... if messes up your paint work... get good paint people... it'll last you a long time... if done right and taken care of...
 
Hey man, don't diss the rattle can. Krylon black primer is the defacto standard for rat bikes everywhere! ;P

Not everyone can afford a spraybooth, though the sears powdercoating guns sure work pretty good. Fortunately I have a friend who is buying a heat lamp system for larger things so I'll be able to do my wheels and perhaps my frame.

Congrats on the cert though, RabbitRetard.

While my rattlecan job looks bad now imagine what the original flat black brake fluid rattered rusted tank would look like now, 4 years later.

Po' man does what he can.

I do have a compressor and paint gun now. I did my wife's bike a while back. I still have much to learn about painting :(
 
not knockin rattle can jobs... just sayin to me its worth the extra money to have a good job done that will last... i used dupli color rattle cans 2 paint the lower half of a car door... matches perfectly and is still holding up pretty good after 2 years...
