How to Paint Motorcycle Fairings pt.2 | Prep Sanding | Ride Rehab ep. 15
Now that we have the fairings washed and degreased, it's time to move on to Prep Sanding. This proceedure will smooth over the surface to remove any large scratches or blemishes that would otherwise show in our finished product if left untouched. The other purpose of this, is to give the paint a semi-rough surface to bond to for proper adhesion. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss out on part 3, where we go over the steps for spraying the adhesion promoters, base coat, how to remove any defects or dust from the color, and apply the final clear coat! This tutorial series will teach you how to paint a motorcycle with spray cans, using SprayMax 2k paint and clear coat at home!

Hi! If I’m using brand new unpainted fairings should I still use degreaser as a step before sanding? Thanks!

[@radhoaritonang6043]

7:15 "I love my motorcycles and my wife hates that" The funny thing when you said that I laugh just like you but I don't have wife

[@CBDSTONER]

How do I know what grit sandpaper to buy for my aftermarket fairings? I'm wanting the new color of my fairing to be pearl white. Should the base coat be black?

[@syrowhy3340]

2days of searching and finally I found someone who explains exactly what to do and give logical reason why to do it like that. Thank you

[@Galaxieshop]

Why didn't you just use the black trim restore on the black trim? 🤔

[@TheKniperlight]

Great vid! Quick question, I have some brand new unpainted motorcycle plastics. Do I need to sand these down before painting?

[@Tremonte]

Yes. Hit them with 600-800 grit then spray your adhesion promoter and base

[@TheKniperlight]

Tremonte thanks for the feedback. I will sand it down, apply 2 layers of black plastic primer and then ~2 layers of matte black paint. Do i need to usr any other products on top of the matte black? I’m just going for a matte finish.

[@jmannUSMC]

@@TheKniperlight Know this is late, but in case anybody else has your question, yes you will still want to hit it with a few coats of clear to protect your black paint. You should be able to find 2K matte clear coats online.

[@TheKniperlight]

Joseph D haha, thanks for the late reaction. Have been riding around with my painted plastics for about a year now and they're holding up Great 😋

[@gakarot02]

Good step by step prep..... understand how important prep is now..... great vid

[@chincemagnet]

I really appreciate your channel. My Z650 is my first bike and I'm learning a lot from your videos. You're covering most of the stuff I either need to know or mods I want to do. It's saving me tons of time.

[@monica2486]

600 not 180 people

[@jrdominguez9973]

Yes 600

[@jrdominguez9973]

Monica you are very smart

[@suckafish2k9]

"Previously on Dexter..." 😂😂😂

[@antonijestanisa8565]

Just picked up a set of fairings to paint for my zx6r

[@ZingTowPootWerkins]

Being from the UK, and having played far too much red dead 2, i must point out you sound like a sheriff. One that wears a big white hat. Noone in mind, just what i picture when you talk, and its not an insult haha. Also your vids are great :)

[@Tremonte]

Lol

[@ZingTowPootWerkins]

Also rare to find youtubers who will read, let alone reply to comments more than a week later, let alone a year! Much appreciated and definately subbed :)

[@stoicoutrider2788]

When you said Dexter... I thought you were talking about Dexter's Lab at first...... Anyway. I keep watching fairing painting videos to finally get the courage to repaint my ninja. Not there yet, but getting close.

[@tedwaetford]

great video thanks. how come you haven't gone for primer coat? when would you use primer?

[@Tremonte]

The adhesion promoter I used is a primer for ABS plastic. That, and it was already prepped and painted previously, so didn't require anything additional

[@One_Branch_At_a_Time]

“Previously on Dexter” 😂😂😂

[@kyore789]

7:09 made me laugh I can relate my friend

[@rscott547]

great stuff on the Prep man!😊

[@kanzler449]

I'm painting my fairings rn, however I'm using 180,220,320 grit. Is it fine to end in 320? Or is it necessary to go to 400? Any help is appreciated.

[@Tremonte]

Use whatever the paint manufacturer lists as the finest grit. There is a fine line between scratches showing from using too coarse, and not having good adhesion from using too fine.

[@epicgimblehd2340]

Is prep different depending on condition of the panels

[@hawkrider88]

Another interesting episode...but what is the "prep srpay" all about?

[@Tremonte]

It’s a cleaning agent that removes any remaining grease, residue or dirt dirt

[@cormdizzle]

This is a really good video It's really informative and I don't blame you for missing any kind of little step but out of you or what did I do know that would help me if I didn't know it. Would be to explain how to send out those Nicks and chips. Like when you're standing oh, you don't send the Nick itself. The point is to stay away from the lowest spot of that Nick. And 2 fan down the high area around it to blend it back in. You brush over it by saying when you stand around it. And I caught that. But I know better. The person that doesn't feel good that sandpaper and start sending ride the middle that sucker I'd bet. I say that because that's exactly what I was doing for many years and couldn't figure out why the Knick wasn't getting any better meanwhile I'm losing a ton of material. Suggest you abbreviate that one more time, send everything except the Nick sand around the edge of the neck do not touch the middle of it. Blend in the area surrounding it by taking it down to the same level of the day unless you're using Bondo to fill it chubby. Not trying to tell you anything that mister video maker. I'm watching this video for a reason LOL. And the guy I used to work for it used to say all the time oh, it doesn't matter how good you are oh, everybody knows something that will help. Cheer thanks for the informative video man otherwise it's very helpful

damn dude got a professional operation going on in that garage
