Hey Kel, really awesome video man, what grit paper should i use to get oem paint off? I tried on my bike fairings and its taken ages for me, i used 400 grit but i feel like theres a quicker way to get it off, cheers
@howtowithkel33524 ай бұрын
Hi Michael, You don't have to get the paint off. Just get it smooth to the feel, it does not matter what it looks like as long as it feels smooth. Then coat it with 2K primer filler, once dry wet sand with 600 grit. That is it, you are ready for colour. You can use 320 grit to remove the paint. Just make sure to use a good primer filler over the 320 grit scratches. I would not apply top coats over anything lower than 600 grit.

The type of paint does not matter. However the clear coat which provides the protection has to be 2K for best results. Any good brand is ok to use. Wear a mask when spraying 2K. Good luck..

Hi Kel - Just found this video and you may actually be some good news I needed. Did you ever do a video showing how to properly paint/spray plastic fairings? My bike was stolen, now found, and is at a shop. One of those situations though where the investment to fix it will outweigh the value of the bike, but I have found a shop that has a great reputation and he understand my situation. Damage is alot of plastic fairings scrapes and imperfections...and then a turn signal, key lockset, brake, clutch lever, clutch, and maybe internal wiring. And I already have all those parts. But just now it dawned on me that maybe all these plastic fairings could be filled in, sanded down, primed, painted, and clear coated. All using the existing parts on my bike. If you have a video after the prep process or how to professional get a high end finish...that would be amazing. I just bought all the fairings OEM, and you can imagine that i now I'm questioning the process. But if I can return those and redirect that money back into the actual labor and mechanical parts necessary to make it safe for me to get back on the road, that would be such a huge help

Hello, thanks for the video, this was helpful. I’d love to be able to execute this. If you see this and it’s not too much trouble I have a few troubleshooting questions for you, that’s why I’m researching again. I’m painting a road warrior fairing and I’d like for the job to come out successful, the first go came out pretty bad lol. I used a process with rattle cans from a company called Touch Up Direct that guarantees color match. I’ve seen similar jobs done this way that came out good so I figured I’d give it a shot since I don’t have professional equipment. The color wasn’t perfect but it was close enough for me. The flake in it came out very uneven. What happened was I sanded and used oil and grease remover, applied a few coats of primer then used an entire can of color, about 4 coats waiting about 10 minutes in between. I had a couple mishaps during this process and had an issue with debris/ dust finding its way into the paint but it still looked ok. I then put 3-4 coats of clear on and waited 24hours after to dry before I started buffing and polishing. The big issue I noticed was how much orange peel had to be buffed out and almost immediately after I started buffing with the company supplied buffing pad, at the same spot at opposite edges of the fairing, it buffed down to the primer, I wasn’t being aggressive at all. Regardless, I’m left with those white primer marks on either side and still a lot of orange peel around the edges since it was very hard for me to buff around the edges without chipping off paint. I’m wondering why it sanded through the clear and paint so quickly given how much paint and clear was on there, and how can I prevent so much orange peel next time? Should I have sanded the paint and cleaned it again before priming? I felt like it needed that because the paint had a grainy texture that I guess was supposed to be like that to help the primer stick better. Maybe I used too much clear and that’s why I had so much orange peel? I’ve seen professional videos where it looked like they used way more clear than I did. Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to be thougough and any advice would certainly help and be appreciated. Thank you

Hi, Lets start with some basics. Ratlle cans at room temp almost always give you orange peel. Get yourself a jug that is about the same size as the cans you are using. Fill the jug with hot water from the tap. NOT boiling water. Stand the cans in the hot water from 10 mins. Take them out of the water and shake them, they should feel hot to hold. Test spray before you start to paint, you will notice that the heat will cause the paint to have more pressure. This will reduce the peel effect. Apply light coats, the first coat should be transparant. Wait 15 mins then apply another light coat, repeat this until you have your desired color. Keep changing the water and put the can back in the fresh hot water between coats. Do this same proccess for the clear coat. I cannot stress enough, LIGHT coats. If you paint to think you will get orange peel again. Take your time and be patient :) As for your panel now. Sand it all flat and start again. Wet sand your undercoat with 600 grit paper before your spray color. This should give you a much better result. Good luck my friend and remember. If I can do it, so can you.
@Jtdubbzz Жыл бұрын
@@howtowithkel3352 thank you. This will help. I put the cans in hot water but only before I started the job so they were mostly room temp throughout the process. I’ll be sure to make sure they are warm to the touch at all times now
