HOW TO // Custom Dirt Bike Coatings At Home - Insane Results & CHEAP!

Welcome back to an all-new mXrevival YZ 250 build video!
This week, I'm restoring #ProjectDisruptor 's braking systems with a type of coating you may not have considered using before.
I want you guys to be able to do as much of your own restoration as possible with your dirt bikes.
This product is a SLAM DUNK for my "do-it-yourself" riders!
The process is FAST and extremely affordable.
I'm so pleased with how these parts are turning out & can't wait to assemble/ show off finished product.

Great video. A good 30 min boil can clean everything off metal parts and not be a pain to cleanup after using acetone.

[@HiTechDiver]

I have the same sandblaster, and love it. I keep a chip brush on the top of the cabinet and brush off the components before I remove them. Keeps the residue in the cabinet and helps keep it out of the orifices when the tape is removed.

[@mxrevival]

Brilliant! Thanks for watching and sharing your tips to help everyone 🙌

[@silkcustoms520]

Hey Guys. I am using Medium Glass for sandblasting my Parts. It works pretty good but Just wondering what you use or is there anything you recommend. I only have tried the medium Glass. Thanks

[@mxrevival]

@@silkcustoms520 you're going to want to go to a more gritty, aluminum oxide media for a better prep when doing this. It will just stick better over time when you actually apply the coating

[@NextProjects]

Awesome! Going to do this on my project 93 yz250. Thanks for the idea!

[@mxrevival]

Have fun! Don't forget to prep with aluminum oxide instead of glass beads as well, you'll get a much better adhesion 👊

[@Mr10usdad]

This is very interesting! Thanks for the video. I only have a small oven in the garage. I could use this on parts that are too large to go in the oven.

[@mxrevival]

Totally! I was looking for something that was a little tougher than paint & that guys could do at home. Check this out, the whole bike is done by hand with this stuff: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gInPoGp6jb2FmMk - Thanks for watching 😎 -Charles // mXrevival

[@dangerdiesel3106]

I just cerakoted every park on my bike build. I blasted everything inside and out, even the cases! The only thing I didnt blast i side was the carb, thought that might be a little risky. Great video man

[@mxrevival]

That's badass! Great work Danger D 🔥

[@robertwoods2505]

That's a great option. Thanks for the info.

[@mxrevival]

Very welcome!

[@adamsavage3670]

Keep up the good work! Love the vids

[@mxrevival]

Big thanks! Appreciate you watching 🤘

[@BostonBanshee]

This was awesome man!

[@mxrevival]

Super glad you liked it!

[@UlisesGlez26]

Brooo!!! That's what I'm talking about 💪🏻, amazing video bro, keep it up 🤙🏻

[@mxrevival]

Thanks bud, hope you get a chance to try it yourself 👌

[@UlisesGlez26]

I'm hoping to, one day I will man

[@adampaganelli4891]

Great video man!

[@mxrevival]

Big thanks Adam!

[@endlessprogression9543]

Thank you!!!

[@mxrevival]

Thank you for watching 😎

[@RareTech47]

Thanks a lot for this !

[@mxrevival]

My pleasure Andres!!

[@codycallaway2911]

Amazing!

[@mxrevival]

🙏🙏🙏

[@apcpowersports9090]

Great video man! I gotta be that guy and ask though... how does one turn a master cylinder into a freshly painted rear brake caliper? @00:07-00:16

[@mxrevival]

Thanks Alex! Dude, movie magic- Oldest trick in the book!

[@danjim7056]

I did this now I don't have a front master but have an extra caliper. Dang it!!!

[@tobermoryclips7747]

great video, would this be a good idea to do this to a metal frame?

[@mxrevival]

You could, but it isn’t going to last terribly long if you have some high contact/ high rubbing areas. Nothing lasts forever, even powder coat will wear through. But there are new wrong answers and definitely follow your heart with it! Can always redo it.

[@CamD477]

Did you use any clear coat after ??

[@begleypaul1]

If someone sprayed the 2nd coat too soon and the part doesn't look right... how does he remove the coating a day later?

[@TroyCollier]

Question... If I were to use alumibright or a rust remover because I don't have a blast cabinet would that effect the coatings end result? I feel like these would be easy ways to get the parts clean.

[@begleypaul1]

I don't have a blast cabinet either so what I did was completely degrease the part, use scotch-Brite wheel on my bench grinder (or use scotch-Brite pads by hand if you don't have a bench grinder). Before you go to the last two steps, make sure you have the look you want on the part (i.e., the scotch-Brite sanding grain) then do the acetone bath. After that just spray with the Aluma-Hide.

[@johnhickmanlc]

Let's see the video on the frame coating job.

[@mxrevival]

Exact same process after a really deep media blast & acetone bath! New video dropped today, you can see how she turned out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWmTYmyVmdymZ8U Thanks John!

[@TNTMOTO]

Cool product, Looks great. Thanks for the informative video. I hope it is available in Canada. I will surely try it out on my YZ490 build. Disposable scalpels work amazing for cutting tape and easier to handle than razor blades. Oh by the way can i ask what video editing software you are using. Having a lot of trouble with my software.

[@mxrevival]

Badass! Hope to see your results when you do. Are there some chemical bans in the great white North that may prohibit you from getting your hands on it? I am using hitfilm, the free version. it has been a great platform to get better on over time and can expand it with purchases for different effects. It has been finicky at times but overall I really enjoy it. I will look into those scalpels! Have not seen them. Thank you for the information

[@TNTMOTO]

@@mxrevival yes. There are some products you cannot get here. Anything new imported from California has a sticker on it that says can be hazardous to your health. Its ridiculous.

[@mxrevival]

@@TNTMOTO Ahh yeah, you should be fine then. Imagine living here haha- It's mostly good though.

[@LUNDMX]

🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@mxrevival]

Thanks buddy!

[@mxsimracing5033]

How’s the coating holding up a year later?

[@mxrevival]

Bike is still being built but it'll scrath like anything else 🤘 Just another tool in the arsenal.

[@theshrekboys1175]

Can u bake it to make it dry faster

[@mxrevival]

You probably could, but at some point it will get too hot and melt off. It's just meant to air cure for 14 days. I recently had to Media blast some of this stuff off a park I did in the past, and it was hard to get off even with aluminum oxide!

[@enriqueestrada2413]

Every store is out of stock of matte black . What else can I use?

[@mxrevival]

Def try Amazon!

[@illhaveanother4365]

Purple

[@scummybraap518]

thank you for opening a braap chain;)

[@mxrevival]

Brap brap brap 💪

[@wyattstav4408]

Do u need to have in a oven

[@mxrevival]

Nope. Air cure for 14 days 💪

[@brapptv44]

i for sure was subscribed but now im not no wonder i haven't seen any of your videos. why would that be

[@kylehennen]

Did this guy just tell me he’d turn a master cylinder into a caliper?

[@mxrevival]

It’s magic bro! You should see what happens when I rub two nickels together 😄

[@watsonsynthetics]

If you need any machine work or custom engraving hit me up. I will take care of you.

[@mxrevival]

That sounds great, thank you. Surely a need will arise in the future!

[@illhaveanother4365]

Ok thanks. I'll hit u up
