How to get a factory finish using spray paint/rattle cans!!

[@simsey33]

I'm astonished. I really didn't think it was possible to get a finish that good without a professional setup. Looking forward to trying it

[@motorman857]

Here's another fairing I painted with spray cans. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6imn6SFpKyVa68

[@gulfflier4700]

Great to see I'm not the only one painting from a "rattle" can. Appreciate the Video!

[@williamb.9110]

That looks great Jerry. I never realized you could get a finish like that out of a spray can. Thanks for sharing that!

[@WarPaintCustom]

Thats not normal spray can paint its automotive urethane paints in a can.

[@socalgolf9978]

as long as you dont used krylon or rustoleum junk, you still need quality automotive paint and a 2 part clear.

[@dakotaevans2507]

That is an incredible paint. This is going to be my method 100%. Even professional paint jobs on a motorcycle will only last so long before you have to do it again anyway. Plus gives you more opportunity to do it how you want it 👍 amazing video just awesome.

[@josea5949]

Well of you ever change your mind about teaching how to ride motorcycles, you can paint cars! Great job Jerry

[@buzzmessinger4510]

I love camera girl! Patients is something you are short on! Good job, on that project! You're the first Cop, I've known with patients. Really! I was just bust'en on ya, Jerry!

[@OnDownTheRoadProductions]

Jerry another great video, I actually work in Automotive Coatings. Wet sand 2000 grit, then again 3000 grit. Thank you for this video. Your first coat was excellent. I can also recommend to all the channel Chris Fix that covers items like this too.

[@motorman857]

Thanks 👍

[@steverangel1023]

Holy $hit! You're flat out amazing! Thanks a ton for this. Painting my bike this week because of these simple steps in your process. You gave me confidence. Cheers my man 🙏🙏👑👑

[@TommyBoy-719-]

Great job man!! I just rattle canned my GZ250 and it looks like it’s fresh out of the shop! 💯😎 I did metallic silver underneath and gloss black on top, now I’m just waiting on some Raiders decals 😁 It came together better than I expected, that’s for damn sure! After I wet sanded the clear coat I was doubtful, but as soon as I put that polish on it, it started shining right up!

[@boomcity4942]

Motorman, Thank You for this great lesson! I recently purchased an unpainted Sharknado fairing from Paul Yaffes. I tried for two days to find someone to paint my new fairing, but everyone I talked to was either too busy or didn’t want the work. Two companies didn’t even return my calls. One company said that they would do the job for $500.00, but didn’t really want the work. I don’t hire people that don’t want the work. I searched on line for DIY solutions and your video was hands down the best. I have everything thing I need ordered and am confident that I will be proud of the finished product. Thank you for all your videos and instructions. You are truly a leader.

[@Slapp3]

How much did everything come out to?

[@S2king-custom]

Did you paint your fairing ?

[@Gigatless]

Woah I wanted to see how to do it and didn't expect Jerry to teach me something new today

[@Cowboy_Ash]

That color looks stunning.

[@DukeOfEarle]

Thank you. I have a fairing to paint and this gives me hope. Also use the riding lessons every day.

[@ZuZaarr]

How'd it go?

[@matthammond7570]

That's impressive! I've never seen beautiful results like that from a can. Love the color too.

[@motorman857]

Thank you!

[@hrobertb]

That looks pretty easy to do. That color is amazing.

[@SiGoodchild1]

Thank you from the UK for this. I’m doing my own motorcycle paint job as per your instructions.

[@geoffreycasey875]

Hi How did you get on painting your bike?

[@SiGoodchild1]

@@geoffreycasey875 exceptionally well. I paid a professional to do it ! 😁

[@ryanluedtke5133]

I've been using kustom paintz for years, I've used both cans and spray gun. The quality is fantastic. The company is fantastic too. I've used they're products for over 10 years building and restoring motorcycles. You are 100% correct, prep work is most important. Putting heat to the clear coat takes out all discoloration. I have lots of pics and videos to show how awesome the product is.

[@williamhornbostel1674]

What do you use for the cut and buff? PM me I've got my paint and will start scuffing tonight

[@RecoursCollectif]

nice job. I always thought you needed to wet sand between every coat of clear. you proved me wrong!

[@deantaylor1512]

My old street bob needs a refresh.. want to do from tatty old denim to a nice glossy gun metal.. this might just have persuaded me to give it a go .. That’s a top job .. 👍

[@Superfangelo]

Rattle can paints have come a long way. Proper prep , patience and technique can yield professional results for pennies on the dollar, as Jerry's vid shows. You can even paint over chrome. It's all in the prep.

[@fitzstermoto]

That came out incredible and yes rattle can paint has come a long way! Great job and thanks for sharing!

[@josephlahood4647]

Beautiful job. I've painted threes a lot to it

[@chrishunter5041]

Rattle cans are good if you do the prep work, nice job👍

[@sydlyntwolovin1272]

Great and easy to follow instructions. I know a guy that has painted whole motorcycles, cruiser and bagger, with spray can paint (high quality) designs and all. It can be done, now I feel like I could try it.

[@elmparkdave]

Wow..that's brilliant..such a satisfying job and a great colour!

[@roadrunner4677]

Great job. Try using running water from a hose while you wet sand. It makes it easier to see the cut and washes and debris away so it does not scratch .

[@motorman857]

Good idea.

[@MADLILWILL]

THAT LOOKS BRILLIANT

[@old_slow_guy3337]

Now ,how many requests for paint work are you going to get ;). Very nice job by the way.

[@cloudaround]

Wow, that looks amazing. Excellent work sir.

[@chillwill809]

Great teaching job you should be a instructor for a painting school for bikes and cars I'm gonna try this on my victory cross country thanks for the info 👍

[@MrGordon121]

really nice job buddy saves breaking it all down and sending it to the paint shop. I bet help with wind resistance on curves...lol Just kidding Hello from Fort Erie Ont Canada, across from Buffalo NY. And yes it's cold but I'm still riding when I can until the roads are covered with the white stuff sand etc. Lucky to be in Florida to ride all year, I am actually wearing snow pants to ride lol. Hello to Donna hope all is well with your family.

That's mind-blowing the results are just perfect! I just wanted to buy something to restore and this will come super handy

[@bigfootaintreal5454]

Dude, that's a beautiful bike.

[@Jtdubbzz]

Great work! I’m about to do this to the Road Warrior fairing on my FXLRS, just looking into finding the paint match. I looked into the company you suggested but I don’t see anything that matches, unfortunately. Man, I know that Midnight Crimson color got hated on by some but I love it!

[@motorman857]

I have my Crimson Road Warrior for sale. The very one you see in this video.

[@lobolj53]

Prep and patience, you need both for the technique to work, just like riding a motorcycle. Great upgrade to the bike.

[@willythehero88]

Excellent presentation AND result!! I am researching painting a small piece of new, OEM plastic that is a door handle cover. It appears to be no more than two inches wide and one inch tall. Anyway, you did not apply a primer and I am wondering if this was mainly because the plastic had never been painted. Thank you.

[@motorman857]

With a good scuff, no primer needed.

[@davidfunk2652]

Nicely done, Jerry!!

[@joseolaguera7785]

How many layers of base and clear coat did you do? Going to try this this weekend.

[@bradduffield2860]

I enjoy doing this myself, and learned something from this video. Thank you.

[@johnwilliams242]

That looks pretty damn good... I'm getting ready to do my tourpak, did you sand/wet sand before applying the clearcoat?

[@easyglider1307]

Good Stuff Jerry. Kustom Paints are excellent. I used them to color match my Vaquero paint. I recently painted lower fairings on my 21 Road Glide with paint matched color by Colorite. The Lowers were black Amazon stuff. They came out excellent. My recommendation to you about buffing, the Fast Correcting Cream might be a little aggressive and leave some swirls. The 2k Clear I used was so good (SprayMax) that I did not even need to buff or wet sand. Also you may want to use some Bullydog adhesion promoter if not using a primer.

[@mutilation7763]

Between sprymax clear coat and Kustom kanz, which do you think is better? And what advantages and disadvantages have you found in both brands? Thank you

[@easyglider1307]

@@mutilation7763 Spraymax is the best clear coat you will find in a rattle can. It is true 2 part automotive grade clear. Kustom Kanz I did not use their spray can clear, I used the 2 part clear that had to be sprayed with a gun. Colorite was the best for an exact factory color paint match, but a little more expensive than Kustom Kanz.

[@mutilation7763]

@@easyglider1307 thanks for your answer * Then the clear coat 2k of kustom canz is not so good? because they have their normal 1k paints, but also the clear 2k. cheers

[@easyglider1307]

@@mutilation7763 I used the Kustom Paints 2k clear but it was for a spray gun, I had a tour pack painted with it and it looks like glass. Quality clear coat for sure. The Spray Max is the best 2k in a rattle can.

[@mutilation7763]

@@easyglider1307 thanks for your answer, I understand that you used it for a Spray gun, I was asking because as kustom kanz it also has 2k clear coat in spray can, maybe you had used that and the spraymax, and you had compared them to have which one has more hardness at the end after having dried correctly, which one was better leveled in the application, more shine obtained and other details.

I have to do my side covers. I strech my legs out over the pegs. And my chaps and or jeans rub them. Now on that color! HD in 07 had a black Cherry. Looks pretty close!

This shop has Black Cherry. Since the side panels are close to the tank and fender, a color match is important. custompaints.com

I've never tried that.

[@kennyphelps1160]

Progressive sanding start with somewhere around 400 or 500 grit and then move out from there progressively and then paint

[@kennyphelps1160]

There are also some chemicals that can take it off but you’re probably still need some sanding afterwards

I'm no expert but I would think you can scuff then paint without a problem.

Great video, so should I wet-sand with 800+ grit after the color is dry, THEN clear coat? (I noticed a bit of orange peel and paint texture at the color stage) but I'm wondering if a thick clear coat will smooth everything out. Thanks for the help!

[@icebrakernh]

Isn't there supposed to be a sealer and primer or is that just for metal?

[@motorman857]

According to Memphis Shades, the fairing is ready to paint. I would think that means just scuff it up. Plus the paint store told me no primer was needed. If you are painting bare metal for sure a primer is needed.
