FYI if you're going to do this, especially with black paint, it's much faster to just wipe off the overspray that's on the tire with acetone. I did this on a CBR1000 that I flipped and not having to tape up 4 sidewalls saved a solid half hour, the acetone wipe took 5 mins tops. Solid video, didn't know that about etch primer and aluminum BTW.

Nice tip, thanks!

Avoid doing this, you will just end up getting acetone on the rims by accident and destroying the paint.

If you are about to attempt this, use an automotive 2K or 2 Pack Spray can ! It will be scratch resistant and it will not chip off ! But do wear protective gear over your face and mouth ! And prep here is key ! Just paint and primer is not enough ! Nice video though !

I did mine and it’s been over 1 yr. they still look great I Haven’t done touch ups. Has little scratches NOT major though. I ride trials and hills (rocky hills). I recommend. Use rust-oleum semi gloss paint + primer

@drzrider34402 жыл бұрын
A can of 2K clear coat, which is a 2 part spray can, will make that paint last 10 times longer. I painted a helmet with it, dropped it like we all do, only dented the paint. Its a super hard clear coat they use when painting car wheels. Stronger than powder coating.

Nice job. Iv started to use a sealing primer after the etching… (not trying to be one of those guys lol) I was having trouble with the paint deforming on certain aluminums either cracking or just looking horrible while applying my color coat. And I prepped the hell out of them, used all the same product line and all.. I got into old school bmx freestyle bikes and that’s when I started to have the issues. Never on one of my dirtbikes aluminum with proper prep

I want to paint my swingarm that has been scratched up badly by the original owner who seems to have ridden it sideways on the ground quite a bit. Do you have any suggestions for the proper paints to use? I will need to smooth out the scratched surface with some fine emery paper then would like to find a color match for the original silver.

A better method is to use aluminium tape and lightly sandblast. Nothing ever sticks to the oxide coating. But well done.
