Originally posted by PlanecrazyBy the way ... it just occurred to me how to create a very effective and inexpensive "paint booth" inside a garage ... buy a used (or inexpensive new) large tent and set it up inside the garage ... then use a HEPA air filter to take the dust out of the air inside the tent. Presto! = economical but effective paint booth!!

BTW: my wife had a local guy do the clearcoat and it cost her $40 for the fenders,side covers and tank. he used a thick clear and said to let it cure for 30 days and then you can wax and it will be ok for gas spillage. (eventhough i will be EXTRA carefull anyway!)

Of course we'll have to find an old oven if we want to properly bake the paint.
Regards,
acrylic enamel with a hardener in it= no bake, cover it with a box to keep out the dust while drying.

Thanks for the suggestions regarding "no bake." The box idea is clever as well, but since the part will be inside a mostly "dust free" tent I'm guessing it should be pretty safe after we spray it.

I painted the lower fairing, fender, and cafe fairing to match the tank, covers, and tail section previously painted. I had to use $30 cans of ColorRite www.colorrite.com paint though, so it wasn't cheap. Lots of clearcoat...

Take a look at the MSDS sheets for the paint you have. I'm pretty sure the flash point on your reducer is around 75 degrees.:shock:

just fyi, i painted my bike the first time with flames on it with spray paint. it was just rustoleum paint i believe. and as soon as it overflowed, the paint was trashed.
this time around the look i was going for was the flat green with all black motor and wheels. so i bought teh camoflauge paint. well i overflowed the tank the other day and was upset because i figured it would need touched up. but i just got on and drove away and when i got home you couldnt' tell it had spilled.
i'm not sure if this is behavior of any flat paint or just teh camoflauge type because maybe its more durable

Steve, have you ever painted with your guns before? I sense a lot of talk and little action. A huge learning curve is in store for you!

I found flat paint to be rather durable too. Here's my TDM850 (called Mr T), it was painted with chalk board green and some flat black stripes.
I've spilled fuel on the paint a few times and had no problem. If I wanted a long lasting glossy finish, I would probably spend the money on getting a pro to do it.
However, on a cheap dunger, who cares?
If you feel like seeing the whole story on Mr T, CLICK HERE for the thread on the twowheels forum.
