@Denimhead-0 the cold def makes the ride more intense, it’s what I love about riding is the elements.

The reason I needed to do this paint job so bad is because I was riding last January after they brined the roads for a snow - I got caught in a downpour and me and the bike got soaked in salt water. I couldn’t stop laughing the whole way home at just how brutal it was. I warmed up by the fire with a drink and never washed the bike lol

Pulled a little of the flake off with the tape but not half bad

@WhiskeySandwich might be able to fix it with a puddle of paint (spray it on cardboard until it pools) and use a small artist’s paintbrush to touch up the spots.

Looks great!!

[WhiskeySandwich]

@goosehd thanks! That’s exactly what I did with some of the spray paint that was left. Will have to lightly sand it but looks good from a few feet away

@WhiskeySandwich The clear coat will hide a few sins as well…I was just looking and see that there are candy clears you can buy (rattle can). Going to put a colour over it?

[WhiskeySandwich]

@goosehd I wasn’t planning on it but it but now I’m considering it!

@WhiskeySandwich love it! Excellent job

Then had a cigarette

@goosehd decided to add another layer before clearcoat. Going with a black tint candy. The silver is too bright for me and the contrast is a little much. I think adding some black candy will tone it down but add depth. Guess i gotta wait for snail mail again...

[goosehd]

@WhiskeySandwich Excited to see how this turns out…

[WhiskeySandwich]

Well that didn’t go at all how I envisioned. The “black” candy was more like a midnight blue and almost negated my entire tape masking job. It only barely shows up with a flash or sunlight. Def needs a wet sand with so many layers now. No solution but to add more paint though!

[goosehd]

@WhiskeySandwich looks pretty damn good to me! Sleep on it and take it out in the sun tomorrow.

[WhiskeySandwich]

I’ll give it a try, it’ll def be sparkly as hell but it’s just… plain. I may give it a wet sand and re-tape for a shot of pearl over top before clearing

[WhiskeySandwich]

Wet sanded, cuz it was fucked. Some how I ended up with faded denim paint, huh

@WhiskeySandwich just needs a red W
