    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

suggestions???

ok so heres the deal... this is my first bike, a GS450L i believe it's an 80... bought it from a friend for 100 bucks... not 2 bad i guess... runs really good... i put 40 miles on it going up and down our dirt lane that is a mile long... got it up to 50mph... ok so no problems with it running... now to my question... i can paint professionally... but seeing as how i only paid 100 bucks for the bike... i don't want to spend alot on paint... damn A.D.D i keep losing my train of thought... ummmm what was i gonna say?? oh i have a can of green metallic paint very awesome looking color.. i had gotton it for free from the paint rep. at work... so all i would need to do is get primer... and i have clear coat... i was gonna go with the spray bomb method... but i think i answered my own question... still i'll take suggestions... and does the paint from the spray cans hold up??? i've never really used them... i hope this makes sense to anybody that reads it... feedback would be greatly appreciated
 
The rattle-can clears won't hold up to gas. A catalyzed clear is much better since you have the equipment.
 
look on the home-page. theres a series on how to do it cheaply with rattle cans, and get some pretty good results.
 
I've heard ceramic clear will hold up to gas much better, especially with a nice thick coat of wax. Or several,...
 
yeah i think that is what i'm gonna do... i just hope it turns out alright... painting in my barn and all... might as well use that free paint... and the rest of the clear... hopefully i'll get it done before the end of the week... i'll let you all know how it turns out... if i knew how to put pictures up here i would...
 
hmmm... didn't turn out to bad... i still don't know if i like the color though... it's a darker green with green and silver metallic flakes... got some dirt in the clear... i'm just gonna have to wet sand it out... 100 dollar bike... i'm not lookin for anything fancy... i still need to do the tank... i had a couple pinholes in the body work... so i'm gonna get some spot putty from work tomorrow... anybody know how to put pictures on here???
