Here is what i used, Plasti-dip I taped everything off, sprayed 4-5 light coats and that is the finished product. I have used this stuff on my car wheels and i have 40k on them and this stuff is holding up great. Lots of information about this product and how to use it here https://www.dipyourcar.com/home.php

Very cool, it looks great on your bike. How long do you think it will look that good?

Awhile, i also plasti-diped my wheels on my car and i have 40k on them and they still look great even in the minnesota winter.

Heres the deal, if i dont like it, Peel it off, no damage done. If i love it and it needs a touch up, redo it over winter. It only took me a couple hours to do.

it cost me less then $15. $7 for a can of plasti-dip, some tape and masking paper.

about 4 hours start to finish including dry time. 10 minutes inbetween coats.

Trick is not to thick and dont rush, once its a solid color 3 good top coats and your all set. Leave it sit for 1-2 hours after last coat.
