[devil.L]

normal nippon or can use hi tem spray.. but fender nd tank i think normal nippon will do.

its not expose t much heat as compared t thn engine block nd stuff.. (correct me if im wrong, pk seniors.)

 

alright sure, thr's still a few days from now..

update here again ya.. (:

[kmjoe]

but duno can tahan all weather anot leh... btw anyone knows how to shut my alarm sound when i off my engine? coz every time i off engine it will say "engage the alarm system" den everyone will look at me =.="

[devil.L]

weather shdnt be a problem, so far mine is still in good condition, no sign of corrosion melting whtsoever.

ps, i ride everyday, rain or shine, rain and shine. (:

[kmjoe]

so we remove all the fender and tank than just spray on it. tts all? anything else we need to apply before or after?

[devil.L]

remove?! removing is alot of work lehhhh.

i dun remove, just wrap nd spray..

aftr th paint dry needa coat it with lacqour (idk e correct spelling).

[kmjoe]

bro i dun tink can leh... jus did some research, need sanding, primer many coating etc... lol... very very lehchey

[devil.L]

sanding is definitely need, ya i forgot sanding.. i sand'd befor spraying too, t remove dirt nd stuff..

depend wht colour you'r doing, like blue red those colours thr's different tone thts why need more thn one coat, for black thr's only 1 tone, black is black.. ya.

[kmjoe]

wa si... lol there are some scratches on my tank n fenders sia... need lots of sanding T_T

[devil.L]

whole thing wld take maybe 4 t 5hours i guess.

from sanding t wraping t spraying t drying t coating.

[kmjoe]

yea lor... jia lads man... mayb i just leave it as it is 1st bah... dun tink i can be so patient xD

[devil.L]

hahaha.

for your ride, everything is worth it..

i spent quite abit of time nd money on mine too.. worth it!

[jtzx]

devil you respray tank yourself???

 

i intend go shop spray. airbrush spray.. = paint wont drop as easy as DIY?

[devil.L]

no ah, i din spary tank yet. so far my tank still doing good. as in th paint..

yea, air brush is definitely better thn diy.. if finance allow id do airbrush with design on my tank too..

[armani123sg]

my diy paint cracked after 6mths... n not say i anyhow do, i really did a wonderful paint job on my tank, n i even park in indoor carpark, n i ride rain or shine, n i always always wax my tank... paint still cracked after 6 months... i think cause no primer... i only sand n spray... think if got use primer is better cause e paint will stick better...

 

n i think with all e money u will spend on buying paint n lacquer n primer, paint at shop will b cheaper n easier n less troublesome...

[devil.L]

indoor carpark, wldnt th humidity be too high for spray painting.. =\

i spray in open carpark under th scorching sun..

 

yea true, for tank, shop is recomemded..

fender i think diy will do..

well, i did tht for mine at least.

[kmjoe]

hmmm... looks like my case i need to send shop bah... as its both front n bak fender + tank... if i can afford that is... haha

[devil.L]

hoho, front rear fender plus tank cost quite abit i think, close t 200?

not too sure..

but i do know of anthr solution, sticker th whole tank / get tank bra.. xD

[kmjoe]
