Artsy Motorcycle Painting
However, it is not always that way. You can manage to paint your
bike. In fact, if you are planning to do it in the near future,
here are the things that you need to consider. First, the color
of the motorcycle - what color do you want? There is such a wide
variety of colors available in the motorcycle society.
Colors can influence the bikes durability. Pearl's, candy's and
lacquer reds have short life spans. Nevertheless, if you like
your bike to be ultra-violet, gasoline and acid rain resistant,
you can use paints with modern acrylic urethane content. These
coatings are costly but you can rely on their efficiency. The
brilliant hue, sparkle and feel of newly painted bike cannot be
overemphasized. If you want variations, you can try two-tones
and the likes. Just bear in mind that the use right and modern
materials pays off.
After choosing the color for your bike, you have the choice
whether to dismantle the bike or not. Tearing down for paint is
an innate passion of bikers. Most pro painters do not remove the
motorcycle parts. However, it is better if you let the experts
do 'expert removal' of hard to remove parts. The aim is to get
paint around all the edges of the motorcycle parts. Most bike
painters have a variety of fixtures to hold parts so they can be
easily worked on. In fact, in time these bike painters develop a
skill to work on these challenging parts.
As I have said before, you can be your bike's very own painter.
Nonetheless, you can entrust the painting to those who
understand how much your bike means to you - like some expert
biker/painter. They exude a certain bond with the bike. Thus,
they will not let any biker down. This is because they do not
want to feel the same frustration.
It is time to color the bike. But first, remove the uglies -
cracks, dents, flaws and repairs. Painter may not have ample
time to look into them so you got to have the initiative. After
removing the uglies, clean and dry the entire bike. The
temperature must also be kept warm for the primer's advantage.
The number of coats can be of significance. Three or four coats
are sufficient. Just remember the three important things -
clean, dry and more primer!
Invade the motorcyclists' crowd and stun them with your newly
painted bike.
