The plastics just got 3-4 coats of Kyrlon fusion paint... specifically for plastics. We just degreased the plastic and sprayed, no sanding or primer.

The frame was sprayed via a gun, House of Kolor neon pink. 2 coats of white rattle can primer 3-4 coats of pink and 3 coats of clear.

All of the other parts are going to be flat black, using 2 coats of rattle can primer and 2 coats of rattle can flat black.

Well get more pics up soon... We decided to do the helmet too lol
 
wow, helmet too would just look awesome, like perfect match for the ride... no way u lost her on the dunes xD my gf also crying for a pink set...


can i ask something witout get u mad? when u sea 2 coats, 3 of ... 2 of... u mean u painted 2times wit one thing, then 3 wit another just over the last one, n so on?

via gun means wit air compressor?


flat black is a color, like "light black or dark gray" ? or is a special thing that makes something look wit less light, like less reflective, reflexion? and coats of clear? is like a varnish to seal the paint made before?

Hey man I'll help you out a bit.
Ok to start Flat Black is a color that is pretty much just pure black it does have a shine to it although not as much as a normal black. Here is a comparison between the 2
Flat Black http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSn...3hE/bHpXqIS2uOo/s800/BMW-M3-Flatt-Black-0.jpg
Normal black http://media.motortopia.com/files/371/vehicles/44a958cec2fc1/20060326_0023.jpg
When talking about coats he is saying he used 3 coats of a base or primer then after those coats placing a different coat of paint such as the black over the previous coats.
Clear coating is a clear coat of paint that is not visible its more or less used to give it a shine and serves somewhat as a protection layer agaisnt scratches
The gun he is talking about i believe is a spray gun powered by an air compressor
Hope you can understand this, i know what it feels like trying to translate.

Well we made a little progress this weekend, however hit some additional roadblocks. While cleaning the block found a few layers of JB weld covering a crack/hole in the block, from where the chain popped off. We've cleaned up the area and are going to weld a patch over it soon. Also found two loose screws inside of the magneto, had it pulled and in the process the shop destroyed one of the coils. Come to find out the two screws were holding the smaller of the two coils in place, so the wiring was destroyed when it was torn off. We dropped in a new clutch and picked up some new ITP Holeshots.
