hey i have a burn hole in my exzaughst thet bubbled up is there anything i can do?
nice 944 btw lol
No primer? No Clear Coat?
Excellent video, nice to see one aimed at the home diy-er.
The bike turned out really well, didnt like the sticker. Good job.
@CorbyJB It will help to fill in any imperfections if you do.
Dan, I need to repair the fairings from lowsiding my bike, I am gonna have to use some body filler, do I need to prime these areas before top coating?
Thanks, Corby in Houston
@R1VideosdotCom Thank you, I appreciate the compliments. I will be working on developing better lighting options as I move along with this.
@MetlHead37 Thanks I appreciate it. I will be keeping that in mind!
Yes sir, Cousin Dan, this video is excellent! Very informative and very good nicely done. In the future, get yourself a light kit because I know it will come in handy for you on other projects. The audio was great and I like you editing style. We’re subscribing now!
@tazmaniak246 clear coats are only used on metallics or pearl coats to protect the coloured finish, also can be used over coloured finishes for a money saver if u don’t have enough colour for puttng on 4 coats of colour, if u only have enough colour for just getting it covoured, u can then use clear coats to finishe the job.
@TheCousinDan Yea no probs man, need anymore tips? just ask me, I been painting prestige cars for 20yrs, got out of trade in 2004, you don’t see any healthy old spray painters eh!!
@MetlHead37 I’ve learned a lot since this video, from people like you…but no, I’m actually in the medical field haha. Thanks for the tip.
@MetlHead37 Nice, I’ll have to check into that. Thanks.
ahah at 2:31 u mention the best way to see the “dimples”, there is abetter way, wipe dry the surface like u mentioned, but then u should use “Wax ‘n’ Grease” remover (or Prepsol) on the surface, it is 100% more visible than relying on the suns reflection.
why don’t u use a soft rubbing block/pad to wet sand? If u dont you’ll see finger marks in the finish, also after sanding with the 400, u should use a “guide coat” (guide coat is a very light mist coat of black paint sprayed onto the surface) to help you see the 400 scratches when using a finer grade of sanding paper… i take it ur not a tradesman??
@yodablues I appreciate the compliment. Glad I could help.
Great video man and a beautiful bike too! You did a great job. I’m looking to do my first paint job on a Fairing for a ’96 Harley FLH I plan on mounting on my V-Star 1100 Custom. I’m going for a straight black paint. You’re site is gonna be a lot of help.
@TheCousinDan Thanks! Saved me heaps of time
@Vitegro No. I the paint is in good condition to start with then you should be fine. Just look for signs that the original paint might not be adhering to the bike. If this is the case then you will need to take it all the way off so that you don’t just paint on top of a coat that will soon be chipping off.
@tazmaniak246 In this case only. I was going for a specific retro look, most of the time you will add clear and follow the same steps, minus the wet sanding on the clear.
no clear coat needed? o.0
Hey, do i need to remove paint completely if i want to change the color?
So what exactly are the different steps in sequence for rubbing it down after you painted it?
Also, what kind of paint do you use? How important is your selection of paint?
Pretty good instruction. Check out my videos on a 94 Yamaha YZF750R I repainted from a black to a multicolor racing scheme with decals. Done with rattle cans. ☺
