CUSTOM paint in a rattle can!

-


I am a huge fan of rattle can paint jobs, but they can be a little limiting when it comes to custom colors. Not anymore!!! I found a place fairly close to me that can mix any paint code up and stuff it into a spray can! Check them out here: Superior Paint Supply http://www.superiorpaintsupply.com/ Very reasonable- this can cost about $24 with tax, but price varies depending on what all goes into the can. I opted for a single stage because I never have had good luck with a top coat not peeling. What color? Porsche Mamba Green! Turned out FANTASTIC, love it! Paint code for this green is M6S. Painting is fairly straightforward- Sand all the old crap paint off, smooth it out, prime it, wet sand the primer, and then do your top coat. I ended up having to do 2 layers of primer, because the Krylon stuff I used was very runny. Lightly sanded the runs out after it had dried, gave it another light coat of primer, then on to the wet sanding. PATIENCE is key when working with paint!!! Let it FULLY dry before you sand, or it'll be a mess.

Custom Handmade Vintage Style Motorcycle Parts- What do you think of my DIY number plates?!?

  I've wanted to try this for a while now. How do you think it turned out?!? I think it turned out fanatastic! Love it. Going to be using this process again to make more of these! It was actually pretty easy with some basic tools. Still need to polish it up and make it shine, but you get the idea! What other parts should I custom form out of aluminum? Kinda toying with the idea of building custom fenders, but I don't have an english wheel anymore. Links to the engine parts I ended up ordering!

BARN FIND! 1980 Yamaha XT500

  So quite a while ago my brother told me his neighbor had an old bike stuffed in the back of a barn. I managed to sneak a peak at it at one point, but wasn't sure I wanted to pick it up. It festered in the back of my mind for a whole year. They were in and out of town, our paths just never seemed to be able to cross, until... FINALLY... I was able to go back and make a deal! Hauled it home on the hitch carrier, and after a few basic checks, gave it the old boot. What do you think? Not bad for a barn find!?
