What's everyone's thought on plasti-dip, been thinking about dipping my bike. Any suggestion? Painting is expensive and extremely time consuming. Just looking to change my bikes look. Any feedback is appreciated!
the professional stuff doesn't come off like that. they were advancing what they can do with it very fast I'm sure its better then what I've seen. its been 3 years sense i went to the car meet the guy had at his shop that does it.You can check out my bike in the photo section. Easy to plasti dip. turned out great. just disappointed how easy it comes off in some areas. especially those that you rub against a lot. still....a huge advocate of plasti dip. cheap and easy to see how your bike will look in a different color or design. Im going to pull all my plasti dip off and paint now that i want it permanent
Real paint makes my head hurt i don't like sanding. Im rebuilding my friends 76 kz900 old drag bike. I'm painting his engine and sanding between every single fin. its all worth it in the end when it looks nice.good to know. may go get that priced out then. Love the look of matte black plasti dip with my white bike. the thought of redoing all of it makes my head hurt
thats the stuff I'm talking about. i dint know anyone could order it. a guy out here has a shop and all he does is paint cars with it. he developed a clear coat for it and it makes it look crazy. nothing like the rattle can stuff.I've not had luck with the rattle can versions, but have a friend that's used it on the RX-7 with great results. He gets colors direct from manufacturer and mixes for a proper sprayer like paint. Basically the Pro version.
How much estimate would it be to have my fairings painted professionally?
Honestly my main concern was the tank area. Being that my thighs rest on the tank, and sometimes a little gas driplets. Also, I've heard if you hit your fairing with 5-6 coats of plasti-dip and allow 2 days of cure time it should be durable enough to deal with the rubbing but I haven't seen any real feedback about that yet. Just don't want to go ahead with it until I'm sure it wont be a waste of money. Wanted to dip to change the appearance my R6 since I've had it for a while now, and wanted to change it up.
