My race fairings are due to arrive and i'm wanting to paint them as they look crap just in white.  Just wondering where do you get the paint from ??  I'm fancying a sparkly black colour or what Glenn did to his bike is pretty cool.

i buy all my paint from r.s bike paints ,
good paint and good match to genuine colours

Has no one explained the law of paint to you.

You paint some lovely track plastics,
Within 3 sessions on track you bin it.........

gixxer babe ...... if you are doing it yourself I can tell you how to get the green (or what ever colour) fleck ... you want....


you will need alot of clear coat and some patients .....

[ZX10R-RACER]

halfords sell spray cans if you want a proper finish rs bike paints sell it in half litre or 1 litre,
to use in a spray gun (need a compressor) but they also sell in spray cans if thats what you want.
rs bike paints will also supply all you need in a full kit primer, paint, ect

[mrwippy]

Yes gixxerbabe ,, i used the comos one it has just about the same colour sparkles in it as kawasakis OE paint but they seem to be smaller fleks  ,, and they are really good paints ,u dont end up running out of gas b4 u hv used all the paint up ...

[gixxerbabe]

Doing it myself    I'm not that stupid, getting a mate to do it.  Reckon I might just go for that sparkly BMW paint and see how it looks, i'm not that bothered about it being an excellent job as its just for the track bike and with my track record i'll no doubt be crashing it again  

Will have to get some cool decals for it too... might get you've just been passed by a girl and your on a zx10 up the side

right ..... you  gonna show you.... blimmin girls on baby gixxers indeed 

we'll see 

oh if you want the fleck then you used a flat black on the bottom coat.... each time you need to wet and dry to flattern.... then use 4 coats of clear coat each time again flatterning it down...... then you use the fleck ..... you spray from further away and (if with proper painting tools I think you get special nozzles) with spray can you gonna have to judge it.

then another 5 coats of clear coat flatterning it down .... then last thing you need to compound it and polish up ...... 

this is for a really nice finish 

[gixxerbabe]

That seems an awful lot of work.... just as well its not me doing it    Cheers for the tips !

I'll be booking into the fast group next time we're on the same trackday and show you how its done and on the baby gixxer too 

[GRNINJA]

no problem I aint worried ..... just when you pile in again just don't do it any where near me
