Harley Davidson Aftermarket Fairing Paint Match

In this exciting DIY video, I'll show you step-by-step how to perfectly match the paint on a Harley Davidson FXR paint job! If you're looking to prep an aftermarket three-quarter style fairing, this tutorial will guide you through the process.
First, I'll start by scuffing down the fairing surface using 600 grit sandpaper, ensuring a smooth base for painting. Then, I'll clean the surface using a water-based cleaner to remove any debris.
To ensure paint adhesion on the plastic fairing, I'll apply a plastic adhesion promoter. This important step guarantees that the paint will stick perfectly to the plastic.
Next, a black basecoat will be carefully applied and left to dry. This will serve as the background for our paint job.
Once the black basecoat is dry, the fun begins! I will airbrush white paint onto the fairing where the pinstripes will be placed. Using LiME LiNE 1/8 inch and 1/16 inch tape, I will carefully tape over the white basecoat. The fairing will then be placed back into the booth and another layer of black basecoat will be sprayed to cover any white overspray.
After removing the tape, you'll be left with two crisp white pinstripes. To create a stunning two-tone effect, we need to mask off the side panels of the fairing and spray on 3 to 4 coats of lime line silver metallic basecoat. Once that's applied, the masking paper will be removed, and an additional coat will be sprayed onto the black basecoat on the sides.
To add the final touch of brilliance, we'll apply 3 to 4 coats of LiME LiNE red candy over the entire fairing. This will give it a vibrant and eye-catching finish.
To protect the paint and give it that professional gloss, we'll spray four coats of lime line premium 2K clearcoat. This will ensure durability and longevity for your paint job.
Please note that not all stock paint jobs are the same, so this method may not work for all styles. Make sure to check out the Amazon link below for all the paint materials used in this video.

I was wondering if you have done a spray gun setup tutorial yet on proper set up for your lime wire equipment. Love your videos. Thanks a lot.

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

hey sir, if I sand the clear off of a blackish color vehicle would that still be considered a black base coat? thanks

How much would you charge to paint a tank for me???

[@VektorHaus]

any tips on how to get the glue out of an airbrush? When I use it, it started to clog within a couple minutes as it dries. Anyway to extend the life of the glue in the airbrush?

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Glass cleaner to clean. You don’t wanna leave it in your airbrush for too long.

So for the silver ground coat You used your own mixture made from a combo of silver pigment powder with carrier base correct?

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

That is correct 👍

[@RevengeCustomPaintCo]

How much volume is in a scoop? I have some of your silver base powder, but lost the scoop…

Love your work. I have a dilemma. I will be starting the endeavor to paint my 09 Electra-glide Ultra Classic with a CSC Daytona Trike kit. I Love graphics and want to incorporate leaf and something ghost graphic but don’t want too much and am having a hard time trying to design graphics that will flow from front to rear. Was wondering if there was a way to contact you and discuss ideas? Thank you in advance!

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

I always try to follow the shape of the part and then just tape out different design ideas

[@Soloriderpowder]

What size air compressor do I need to get for 1.3 spray gun.

Generally, you’re going to want a two-stage compressor
