[jdub86]

Hey guys as i promised here is a few pics of what i have done so far..

Took Plastics off for painting...

Painted The Exhaust Plate...

Painted Plastics...

Stock Engine:

Here is the bike im getting some spare parts from..(1992 Blaster)

And the end day result.....

A few spare parts glad i got a extra head, jug and lower end out of the other blaster..


Tomorrows menu:

Possibly the new decals... Shaved front fenders... Painted stock pipe, frame(Maybe), calipers. Im thinking that i have too much silver on the rims and hubs so i may paint the hubs red and leave the rims silver... More to come tomorow!

I did a little patch job on the pipe... it didnt hold oh well ill put the spare on tomorow

What did u use to paint the plastics???

 

[jdub86]

i did not paint the black fenders yet but they will be painted tomorrow.. im using plastic fusion Spray paint and clear coat it comes out really well if you don't rush the paint job... ill get the exact brand tomorrow if you want..

Fenders are staying black and when i get my decals ill be clear coating the plastics several times to preserve the decals.

The paint i used was Krylon Plastic Fusion.. Im going to get a few more cans tonight doing the back fenders and my new shaved fenders for the front also my friend found some nice caliper paint that will withstand 400c so i may paint the entire exhaust system only thing is im repainting the frame black and the shocks black (getting Shock covers) im partial to painting the front half of the exhaust red and the back half silver or maybe ill just paint the whole darn pipe silver....

Feel free to leave feedback

gunna look good man i would def get the frame painted it will be the cherry on the top lol

i would clear the plastics before you put on the decals, if you dont clear coat them, if those decals start peeling off, its gunna take the paint off with them, just give it like 1 or 2 coats of clear, then put the decals on, and clear, youll be happier with the finish product

thanks ill give it a shot im going to pickup my paint... I forgot to prime the front plastic and the gas tank cover lol..... just realized it oh well... not painting them again...

ill prime the back ones... gas tank has about 5 coats on it anyhow + the clear coat it should be fine.

The can says you dont need to prime. About everything thats black on my Blaster was painted with Krylon Fusion without primer. Your Blaster is looking good though!
