Not sure if there is a thread like this...

Anybody here done any rattle-can paint jobs on their bikes?

 

Yeppers. Used ColorRite HD Black Denim rattlecan. Built a small paint booth in the garage out of 1.5" PVC pipe & visqueen & shot it. Bike was a white police bike to start out. I'm partial to black myself.

 

That looks pretty good. Like the luggage rack also, who's is it?

 

Milwaukee Twins, from J&P. The bike's an '04 & they're kinda hard to shop for, far as seats & racks. Wanted a black one & didn't want to pay arm+leg, so went with the cheap chrome MT from J&P, & just painted it black.

 

That is really cool! Nice work. Bike looks great without the bags too.

I bought hard bag lids to accomodate 6x9 speakers. I rattle canned the lids and grills. Bought the paint to match the factory color. Turned out pretty good. One small run but nothing too serious. Gives it character.

 

I'm planning to do my fairing this winter, I hate that factory stripe.

 

Is it easier to rattle can denim black vs gloss?

 

After overfilling the tank a few times as a new rider, the parts painted flat black had faint white chemical stains from the gasoline. So after a few beers and a can of red gloss and gloss clear coat, I was pleased with the results.
