Rattle Can Paint Job!

[Max Smiley]

even with the metallics, my paint job didn't crack with all the flexing during buffing. but it might not be fully cured yet and may be more brittle later. as we've heard over and over, spraycan paint is soft. as long as you don't get gas on it, this seems a good thing for flexible panels like motorcycle bodywork. besides, if cracks / peels / chips / whatever... just spot fix or respray. we're talking $7.95 for a can not $500+ repaint

I'll put my shoes back on and snap some pics down the garage in a bit. cuz I'm done!


SRAD- dump trophy? hope you ok. I practically tip toed home in traffic tonight. mist everywhere, very slick.

yep...as far as dumps go, it was a good one. Very low speed...just a bad combo of fresh road paint, mist and cold Michelins...whammo .

Not too bad though, got the glass all patched up today and started painting again .

I guess thats the good thing about glass, man you can practically fix this stuff forever!
