DIY Motorcycle Paint - Yamaha SR250 Scrambler Build , EP 6

The SR250 is ready for a backyard, low budget DIY motorcycle paint job! It's hard to believe the bike wasn't even running just a few weeks ago. I'm happy with how the paint turned out, given it was just a backyard paint job using inexpensive Rustoleum primer and paint. It was my first time using Spraymax 2k clear coat (two stage clear coat in a rattle can), and it did a phenomenal job. Definitely heed the warnings and precautions when spraying, though, it's nasty stuff. The polish used on the chrome was Barkeeper's Friend and some 0000 steel wool.

This channel is for motorcycle riders, mechanics, and enthusiasts who enjoy the simple joys of motorcycling, from dual sport riding to fixing up old bikes on a budget. My videos also consider the perspective of short motorcycle riders (when it’s helpful and relevant) in choosing and modifying bikes and equipment.

I’ve been hooked on motorcycles since 1975 when, at the age of 11, my dad brought home a shiny new Suzuki TM75 for me and a Suzuki TC185 for himself so that we could trail ride together in the hills of West Virginia. Since then I’ve worked as a mechanic, owned countless bikes, and even worked in the motorcycle industry for a number of years as a photographer and journalist. Now I do mainly video production and enjoy nothing more than making and sharing these motorcycle videos on KZbin.
Thanks again for watching. Ride safe!
