« on: September 26, 2009, 04:16:23 PM »

New clutch fitted so decided to do engine cases black too.. see what you think :icon_thumright: think the hugger needs a makeover next :icon_scratch:

Love the matt black. Im probably going to be doing mine (04 zx10r) at some point but I've only ever done a one colour scheme (cb250 Superdream in british racing green  :emb: )
Can you give me any tips?
How do I apply a two colour scheme? ie Matt black rear and fairing lowers (nice continued diagonal line thro the bike) and pearl white upper fairing & tank.
Doesnt it create a ridge when applying the second colour?
Also, how can I laquer the white and leave the matt black and still end up with an even surface across the two colours?

Hope you dont mind me picking your brains but it looks like youve done a really good job there.

Thanks for good comments . I used an etch primer first to make sure paint don't flake off fairings then just used matt super finish by plasticoat . Got it from b and q . If you spray light coats then a final coat from a distance from item it gives a near factory finish . To be honest  well pleased with finish . As you may tell in rear picture it looks perfect ! If you mask well and paint , then mask again and paint the White you should be ok . If not you could always put A very small pinstripe between colours ? That would look good too . Was gonna do front White like bsb bike but thought black would look better .just take your time and let it dry between coats .
