Default Plasti Dip Saga..

Well, was messing around on Father's Day and decided to tear my front end down and plasti dip it.. I'm really surprised and quite happy of how it turned out. It's not powder, but it looks nice and will end up being quite durable, and it matches my denim perfectly. What you see is 6-7 coats.. If you take your time, do a good job prepping, these are the results.. It definieltly woke up the front end of my bike.. I will take some more pics after bike is fully back together.

Looks good man! I did mine too, not that long ago. So far, it is holding up nice. Took me about 2 cans, putting on 5 to 6 coats. Very cheap, and easy...two of my favorite things!

I had an inverted front end on my bike that I replaced with new billet trees and a set of stock HD forks. Been thinking about doing the fork legs, but living close to the coast I deal with a lot of sand. Wondering if it would hold up to being sand blasted a lot.

I got my inspiration from some dude on you tube.. Lol.. What's it you? Pretty happy with it. I have some stuff already dipped on my bike, and it has held up pretty damn good.. Eventually I'm going to get some powder work done, but for now, it's cool..
