bertbuckie Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Well.... I think Im going to paint my DT-r 50 SM in the near future..... is it just the same technique as painting a car bodykit? ie sand....sand and sand again ( obviously gradual between coats up to a 2000 grit..... filler plastic primer, sand sand sand, colour coat.....sand, laquer? I realise its a vague and poor description but is that how you paint the plastics? Also do you need a booth or can you get away with a wind free warm garage? ( space heater ) After I have done all the fairings I think I might strip her down completely and spray the frame as well - she`s looking a little scabby by the foot pegs! I have only had this bike a few weeks and the buzz is kicking in already...... she is just a 50 and is anoyingly slow.....however having previously had bigger bikes it brings back happy memories The wife is in dispair already..... she said I was bad enough in a car lol Bert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Airhead Posted April 14, 2010 Moderator Share Posted April 14, 2010 That is exactly how you paint the plastics yes, give consideration to Decals if you are using them and laquer...fuel proof or not. Are you using rattle cans or proper spraying equipment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
