Paint Job - Enquiry & Recommendation

[GreeKo]

hmm....i use turtlewax Color Cure Car Polish

with ChipStick, lenghty process if u polish ur bikes every week bt over time da scratches will fade...gd for fine scratches though if look closely can still see...cost abt $15

 

to me, if fine scratches is an overkill to paint whole tank bt if gt major paintwork prob, $40 like merz65 said is nt a bad deal

 

Get a tank bra is gd idea..eg, ur bike drop on floor or wall, ur jeans da kind of rough material

can check if can get that particular portion touch up. but do up the whole is better of cos. get a tank bra to protect is a good idea suggested. but got itchy hands scratch the tank, sure got itchy hands to do somthing to the tank bra in future... best is to cover ur bike. even they wanna do something oso need to take out or cut the cover.

 

if talk about offend, i think alot of cars offended we bikers!!! esp taxi... n those think they drive car n we shd let them 1st bcos we r bikers?? we oso pay tax lor. only they pay more cos they get to travel in a shelter n air con n blow us? no ettique esp drivers...

 

if parking at a particular slot oso ganna scratched, i think the car that frequently parked in the bike lot shd b trashed to bits n pieces. park the wrong place some more.

 

 

sigh...

i do drive..but def i let the bikes go first on traffic lights..if they wan to squeeze in,will try to give them a way in but go slow to let them pass me..kekekkekeke,a rider so will know how a rider suffer from rain or big sun.Finally my view for myself is ,i also scare their bikes knock onto my car ...WAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHA..so i let them pass first...wahahhahahahahhahahaha...

u r a rider of cos will let the bikers go 1st when u drive. some drivers did not even ride bike or be a pillion so they do not know the danger pose to us riders. we have to b more defensive not like cars. car ganna bump but they r still alright. we leh, bike bump liao, we also suffer from injuries.

 

if the car always block my way, i sure ride damn near until nearly wanna scratch their car... esp my balancer n their mirror... damn fed up... sigh...

seems like da LAB's kinda ill fitting n not sure if there padding....nt compatible wif bagster's non magnetic bag if u intend to get one n oso heard frequently ot of stock

 

motoworld on other hand is thicker padding, can custom colour if u gt da xtra $$$ n time to wait, more fitting to da tank, gt choice for VerS n Vtec, oso da liner is of soft material so wont b abrasive to the tank...nt sure of da LAB's

[samngsh]

 

hmm.. ok.. sounds like motorworld one sounds better... actually a cent of money... a cent of poducts... haha... thanks GreeKo for your info...

 

btw... anyone bought from LAB and wana share his view? wana confirm the feedback before making the purchase..

Me too. I bought those cheapo spray cans at those hardware shops to spray my radiator cover and my uninstall rear hugger but turns out to be darker than the stock blue. Candy blue, neon blue all doesnt match. Turns out I asked my regular mechanic and he said that these kind of colours must be sent to be sprayed by shops as they have a colour code. The colour code can be found beneath the seat.

[skateboy]

mayb u wanna choose another colour to spray on?? not necessary all blue... can b blue n silver, blue n red, blue n yellow etc... just an example...

[ShnHwA-]

black also not bad
