Delboy's Garage, Fighter Build #97, Swingarm Painted.

[@Yaketyyak21]

Brilliant job that....

[@yougotkeked8735]

Nice, Im planning to do this myself with my MT07 Swingarm as paint quality is shit. I would personally did lighter coats, let it dry and repeat til a good finish. heavy coats is alright but that why theres ripples.

[@DukeDyson]

Lovely finish buddy, all in the prep eh

[@Moonfleet41]

Oh yes indeed buddy, prep is everything ! How I long for a rat bike build again lol ....

[@gcrockford8191]

Great vid, just worry that nice garage is getting a light dusting of paint all over it after all your hard work

[@Moonfleet41]

Yeah, but it dries as dust and either wipes up or blows out... its a working space matey, not a show garage..lol... Thanks for your kind concern.. have a good weekend. Del.

[@TOMOFONO]

I painted my Zx7 lower fairings like that and the overspray went onto my bike. Was super annoying, some of it clayed off but not all.

[@RobertCrees]

Can I use a caliper piston puller for these bearings it's practically the same concept has the bearing puller slightly different shape

[@stina6762]

Nice one Del You can get a really nice finish with rattle cans if you get your prep right . I think one of the most important things is the temperature . Worth noting keep the cans in the airing cupboard for a few hours to bring them up to temp . When i did the swing arm on Phils DT i rigged it up in front of the wood burner to cure , Happy High few hours !!! Gotta recommend smooth hammerite here . With the ER 50 we're doing now, i've gone down the powder coating route , never been convinced for the reasons you said , but i think it's got better than the garden furniture coating of years gone by . And any Hoo , when its done , it'll never leave the lounge !!!

[@MackieBass]

Do It Yourself! and Yes wet paint over powder coat all day every day! Wet paint is more flexible, it stays flexible...where I saw powder cracking often. It's a great process...but it can be overrated. :)

[@Moonfleet41]

True words brother, I think it's just become trending to default to powder coat the days aye?!

[@charliefarlie6469]

My old man always used to say , you’ll only get out of a job what you put into it . How true that is and your efforts are paying dividends mate but maybe next make sure all the surplus nuts and bolts are removed BEFORE degreasing LOL Dohhhhh. C.

[@Moonfleet41]

You are so right mate... I just forgot about those, thought they would wind out easy enough, as the range of movement for wheel adjustment was fine, it's just when you actually went to take them all the way out, that the half inch on the end that hangs inside the swing arm, and never gets in side the thread, must have got rusted out and just wasn't playing the game! We learn with every task aye!

[@Rickybiker]

i would like to have seen the swinger in flat textured black raptor bed liner through a paint gun rather than a shuts gun gives the standard factory look

[@vprince9907]

What sealer could I use on a MT07 SWING ARMS to prevent rust

[@tigrarulez]

This guy is the fucking master !!!!!!!!

[@HalfdeadRider]

Great job as usual Del, I was wondering is there any risk of damaging small parts of the paint when taking off the masking when the paint dries?

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks buddy.. You certainly have to be careful when unmasking, thats for sure, have a blade handy, and make sure the tape separates and comes away clear..

[@MikeWilliams-yp9kl]

How many cans of paint did you use as i have both wheels and swing arm to do on my 96 st1100 pan just in process of getting the bearings done on swing arm. Thanks Mike AKA Magic😎

[@Moonfleet41]

So far, with both wheels and the swing arm, I'm at 7 cans, but that's pretty heavy coating as I want it to last, I imagine a 6-pack would be enough, especially if you're using primer... it's not expensive if you buy it in bulk, I pay about £30 for a 6-pack inc. delivery!

[@MikeWilliams-yp9kl]

Thanks very much Can't wait to see the next videos 😎

[@kennethmccurdie5833]

I’m a panelbeater to trade from 40-odd years ago and hung about with the painters although one never admitted to that back in the day. Separate trades! But from what I learned, I don’t believe that you could have achieved any better a finish with DIY products. Our painters would go completely mental if the spray booth door got opened during or shortly after spraying. BLOOMING they would shout. So you’ve taken me back to my youth explaining the risks and ways to avoid it. Excellent stuff, Sir.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you most kindly Sir, it is always a great honour to get praise from the trade... am no paint expert by any means, it's just about understanding a little bit of physics and chemistry and of course, good old practice! Thank you again, take care my friend, Del

Nicely done Del. eaaaaar my uhuras swing arm could do with some re-furbishmenting lol

[@dny9394]

Seems a lot of cost and work to end up with a painted swing arm. There's a chap, who advertises in Classic Motorcycles, who'll blast and powder your frame and swing arm for £80. Take them up, collect next day. Ok there are travel costs which for me would be 4 gallons of petrol but ... just sayin': my 2c.

[@Moonfleet41]

Cost me £15 in paint, just sayin'.

[@rossshaw4687]

Can this be done without removing swingarm.

[@Gus-cg9yp]

Hi, You've got across one of those trouble maker bolts like me ....lol , Lovely job that swingarm paint looks amazing. I'll paint my engine side cover, hope it'll look a bit similar , thanks for the tips. Gus

[@Moonfleet41]

Nice one Gus, Good luck with yours, have fun with it.. Del.

[@christopherdevries1969]

Here's a tip for you that helped me a lot. Put the spray cans in a bucket filled with warm water and let them warm up for half an hour prior to painting. The paint inside the can will come out easier and gives a much nicer result.

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Chris, I hear that one every time i paint in a video lol... TBH, its an old wives tail buddy... if the room is warm enough, then its far better that the liquid inside the can is the same temperature as the room...so as long as the can has been in the room you're going to spray it in... and for long enough to stabilize.. then thats fine... heating the can will increase the pressure as it runs down and keep the atomisation going.. but these cans blow hard right to the last drop... also a bucket of water will go cold in half an hour (try it) and then act to actually cool the paint... and if its a different temp to the room....you can end up with bloom.. we all have tricks we like i guess, if you run down on pressure, just c=shake it in front of the heater for a minute.. soon warms it up..!

[@kiwidude8931]

Mate have a look at my latest upload - this started life as a standard 2015 883 iron - all the mods and changes were made possible by the inspiration you gave me - including the painting

[@Moonfleet41]

WHAT..? You mean that was an IRON... Bloody hell mate... Thats beautiful... id have taken it for a 1200C right away.. an i just love that colour. You have a right to be proud mate, that looks like a hell of a lot of work as an Iron is all black.. no chrome anywhere.. how long did it take..?

[@Moonfleet41]

Just watched again.. thats a flat tank too, chrome yokes, Badlander seat (or its an early 883R seat maybe?... Once again. thats an amazing transformation form an all black Iron..! Nice going mate.. Top class job. Del.

[@kiwidude8931]

Yep, bandlander seat, and custom flat tank - yokes were about 30hrs of stripping, sanding and buffing - cheers mate

[@FernandoDIY]

nice job you should be a spraypainter like me.im not sure what paint your using. is it airdry enamel, acrylic also called 1k paint, 2 pack paint also called 2k. started trade 35 years ago on acrylic lacquer paints and your 100% correct on bloom. enamel paint never really experienced bloom cause we hardly use it in automotive. 2pack does not bloom at all at least never seen it bloom also spraying outdoors in cold

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you Fernando, that's very kind of you, it is an honour to have the appreciation of the trade and the regard of real professionals... this paint is a formulated flexible stone chip paint, air dried, with an acrylic base, so it is 1K, but it takes around 3 weeks to cure fully like an enamel, and then it is fuel resistant, tough and flexible, have even dropped tools on this paint in a careless moment, and it doesn't mark it... Cheers for your input mate!

[@timmason7430]

Fitting a curtain midway into the garage will reduce the size of the garage by around half, allowing your heater to be more efficient(heating half a room is cheaper and warmer than the whole room), it should also raise the temperature in the half away from the door. I hope this makes sense. lol

[@Moonfleet41]

Yes it does mate, and quite right too, but as you notice I paint at the exit end of the garage away from the units, and have the fan blowing to push the dust and fumes out the door, so if I made the front in to a sealed spray booth I'll end up with multi coloured painted units and of course the lift is in the way as well... just need a bigger space mate, simple as that lol ... thanks for the observations, we really appreciate the way that our viewers take the care to share their ideas, we learn so much from our viewers...

[@roamingdev4990]

Lovely job Delboy. It looks like the T1000 from terminator. I hope it dries out nicely for you.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Dev, awesomest film ever...!

[@andydawson2070]

Nice thick finish to the paint, should last well and be very tough. Thanks for the tip about keeping the temperature up after painting. I'm quite impressed with the brand of paint you are using too.

[@Moonfleet41]

Sure thing mate, over the years of practice, it's the little things you do that can trash a job and leaving the garage, letting all the heat out, switching off the lights and heater, temperature can plummet 10degrees in 3mins, and can send the paint surface into shock, or cover it in fine condensation, as the metal's warm and the air's cold... you don't do it all at once lol !

[@CarletonJohnson]

Another saturday morning at work with some content to enjoy! Ace 😎

[@john.m.7980]

That looks fantastic great finish considering it was done using cans, can you put a varnish on it Del for protection, or would that not work. 👍

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi John, this paint is tough and resilient like hammerite, so it doesn't need any protective coating over it.. and also i want it satin black, and any lacquer would obviously make it glossy... thanks for your kind words buddy... take care. Del.

[@springy-2112]

Beautiful finish bruv and i can see why you wanted to di it yourself ..can yoy do me a favour and see if the etch primer has zinc chromate in it. If so brilliant as the best thing to put on bare aluminium is indeed zinc chromate it forms a barrier against oxidants and destroys at a molecular level any organic particles..its a green or yellow chrsitaline layer which paint will adhere to ..and yoy can also use etch primer over it... What you have achieved is marvelous Del and will be tough as hell...i was jusr curious to see the ingrediants of the etch ..(this is not a you should do it another way ).. This is a great video and will help many prep and apply their paint...☮❤

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi mate, you know how it is, we mere mortals don't get a list of chemicals in it - they do tell you what carrier thinners it has, but nothing on the can about zinc chromate - it is formulated for polished metal and also safe on fibre glass apparantly... here's a link mate: www.holtsauto.com/simoniz/products/etch-primer/ Thanks for you kind words, as ever, keep warm, soon be Spring (see what I did there!)

hey thanks for the link Simoniz (holts)is a great brand ive started recently to use their rattle can for all sorts , wheel silver ,matt ,semi gloss and gloss black and the tough black ive used on various projects ,my nearest car spares shop stocks it so its a no brainer..they do a double thick cellulose enamel also which is excellent for doing little touch ups on frames etc.. i just fs365 'd the xjr ..i think i went a bit mad and managed to put half a litre on it !! after two hours of maticulous polishing.i,m going to attempt to ride and not clean ,,the way you did on the Harley..and keep topping it up each ride then try to only clean it once a month, we'll see how i survive that one !! ok..brother take care and love to you and Penny xxx

[@kentsvensson7009]

Lovely job, as usual👌👌👌

[@Meifesto]

So, why did you change the bearings before you painted it? Considering i'm planning on doing the same work on my swingarm, painting it and changing the bearings.

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi there, a simple answer to that my friend, changing the bearings is a rough process and you'll definitely scratch the new paint, you have to maul the swing arm about with tools and clamping it with a vice, but if you change the bearings first, you then just have to mask them up with tape and when you paint away, you can just take the tape off and fit the swing arm... the only time you wolnd't fit the bearings first is if you were media blasting the swing arm... but for the sake of not damaging it, paint should always be the lat process before fitting ... good luck with yours my friend, hope all goes well...

[@Meifesto]

Moonfleet41 I understand. Thanks. Will check out your video first. Should be doable ;) Thanks again

Ever use JB 80 vs WD 40? Over here in the USA I use many Justice Brothers products. Good company with numerous solutions, lubes and fuel additives. The JB 80 is great for external moving parts like exterior door hinges on Mini's. Other aircraft lubes are exceptional as well.

[@richardpavey1687]

Just found your videos, very informative, I like the way you work. I had to comment though because I saw you using Copaslip on the swingarm. I started using Copaslip on bikes a long time ago, and once in a while I found it wasnt helping, it almost appeared to be making it worse. I started to look into it and found that Copaslip is recommended for steel-on-steel applications. I had an old RD and had issues, for example with the pad retaining pins seizing in place. I started using Copaslip on them and then found it was just as bad the next time I went to change the pads. This is when I looked into it and found that Molyslip (the folk that make Copaslip) also make Alumslip. This is what I use on my bikes all the time now (i.e. for about 20 years) and have not had problems since. In fact, when I work on new bikes, I often see what looks like Alumslip in certain places, e.g. caliper bolts, etc. I am a metallurgist by profession and this makes complete sense to me. Although I have heard that Copaslip was not designed primarily to work as a galvanic protection (e.g. like zinc galvanising on steel), I believe there is an element of it at play. Although Molyslip commented that Copaslip is primarily a barrier between two surfaces, I believe the copper in Copaslip will help protect steel, the same way that zinc does; the copper or zinc is more reactive and corrodes; in doing so it creates a corrosion cell and "sacrificially protects" the steel in the same way that sacrificial anodes work on steel hulled ships. However, aluminium is more reactive than copper, so when we put Copaslip on a steel bolt threaded into aluminium, the aluminium corrodes preferentially. Anyhow, I wanted to pass this on. I have not done a scientific study of this or anything, but I've certain found it working in practice over the years....

[@Moonfleet41]

I'm sure you aware of the extreme difference in melting point between the two anti-seize compounds? In case you're not Alumslip flows at 650C compared to 1100C for copper, just something I'm conscious of when using any anti-seize compound on brakes... certainly on a high performance bike at least.

[@richardpavey1687]

@@Moonfleet41 Hi Dellboy... no, I'd use Copaslip on the back of the pads. I wouldnt have a problem putting it on the mounting bolts, caliper bolts & pins etc. In any case, if they were getting anywhere near the melting point of aluminium, I dont think they'd make the calipers from an aluminium alloy.... tensile strength is reduced massively from a long way below the melting point. Anyway, my brakes dont see extreme conditions on account that I ride like a pussy most of the time.

Really amazing finish del looks great. My question to you is I'm doing my bike at the moment and was thinking of powder coating the frame again as I'm restoring it but seeing this could I spray it myself using the same kind of paint what's your opinion.

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi mate, Well naturally im biased, i always prefer a good paint job over powder coating.. remember originally powder coating was an industrial coating for railings and fire escapes... it does a good job, but if you do chip it.. then all you can do is touch it up.. but with paint, you can sand back and repaint spots and small areas.. so its infinity reparable..! Only you can make your choice my friend. but i will be painting my frame on this bike, and probably on the next.. Hope that helps you out... Del.

[@E.y.e.C.a.n.d.y.]

Another great vid 👍. Quick question, I'm going to be using the same paint to do my tank and mudguards.... Do I need to clear coat?

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Liam, this Tough Paint is weird stuff, it absolutely cannot be re-coated before 48hrs curing time, or it will lift up like paint stripper... so if you're going to put a clearcoat on, it has to be during the painting process, not afterwards, and you can buy gloss of this paint anyway, so you don't really need to clearcoat it, but that's the proccedure if you want to.

[@martinhaskell376]

Just a thought Del, but do you put a filter on the camera? Something like a UV protector will keep the lens in good condition and is a lot cheaper to replace...

[@Moonfleet41]

Good thinking that man, I usually site the camera as far away from the job as I can, specially with the grinding and welding... have had some sort of protective filter on the 'to do' list for months, just never get round to it as it means a trip to the shops , we just never get the time !

Moonfleet41 I always get my camera filters from eBay, photographic shops charge too much...

[@irgendwieanders1]

We`re doing headlight restoration for our customers in the shop. lots of sanding and afterwards 2C- clearcoat... Lately the results aren`t what we hoped for... The first formed cloudy lines ( I now assume it bloomed, was a rainy day outside) so we hat to resand the whole headlights wich sucks if the clear is still wet... Today the sanding was fine but the laquor cracked during curing so I think it had problems curing properly? Maybe it still was to cold in the workshop?

[@Moonfleet41]

What temperature was the room you painted in?, before, and after you finished painting..!

[@irgendwieanders1]

Can`t tell you that, it`s a workshop, so max. 15-20 °C I would say... but gates get opened and closed, cars are moved around.... Not ideal, especially in the Winter

[@Moonfleet41]

Well 15 to 20 is about right, no less than that.. but if you can keep the temp up, and the door closed for maybe an hour or two directly after painting then it will have a good change to set hard enough not to bloom by then..

[@irgendwieanders1]

[@bessie2275]

Great finish, did you consider powder coating it ?

[@Moonfleet41]

No buddy, powder coating is for fire escapes and railings, paint can be repaired , spot painted and polished, if you chip powder coat it stays chip... think I've explained this a few times, there's nothing wrong with powder coat, I just chose to do it this way...

[@Ridevenice]

I wonder why you had the wheels sand-blasted but not the swing arm? Isn't it as important to remove the old paint off?

[@Moonfleet41]

... the wheels had thick cellulose rattle can paint all over them with runs and sags in it, which was also chipped and scratched... it all needed to come off as it would have reacted with the new paint... whereas the swing arm had a thin coat of factory 2k paint on it which just needed sanding back and de-greasing to paint...

Aluminum: is not an easy surface and scratching it will not make the paint stick fully; maybe for 30 days. So you are not mistaken and must prep the surface and then use an epoxy primer.

[@Moonfleet41]

[@Moonfleet41]

Couldn't agree more Graham..

[@ttv2951]

Amazing work in such a confined space and with a rattle can outstanding results 😎👍

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@MrAlmar07]

That looks great Del, Funking Awesome job!! Love the finish from the Tough Black. As I've got some painting to do soon, I'm on the hunt for a mask, what's that one that you use? Awrabest buddy, Al.

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi buddy, glad to hear you're getting stuck in... That mask was sent to me by a viewer a fair while ago with several filters, and I can't remember where he would have got it from, the brand is Sundstrom from Sweden, am not sure if you can get them in the UK/Ireland... there are lots of paint masks online, when I buy my next one am gonna go to a twin filter, as these ones clog up real quick... plenty of choice on the market mate, and depends on your budget as well mate....!

[@MrAlmar07]

Moonfleet41 Hiya mate, yeah doing what I can temperature allowing, Hah. I've been looking at a few masks online today. 3m double pod is the one I'm gonna go for methinks. Hope you're both well, catch up soon. Awrabest, Al.

[@PJF62]

Great job, it's beginning to come together now.

[@dasutr]

Wow. it looks like powder coat. Nice job.

[@hardy-xn1kq]

Unbelievable result, You don't stop to inspire me.

[@RonniePeterson]

Your not wrong that finish does look good. I just love your confidence when at work!

[@Moonfleet41]

Cheers mate, didn't come out too shabby aye?!

[@brno221973]

I don’t know what it is but some of the jobs you do are quite “how can I put it without being rude” “dull” but it’s the way you come across & go into the little details that I always like & it keeps me glued to the screen. Any other videos on something like this & I lose interest in minutes but with you I’m riveted. Love it, keep them coming👍

[@Moonfleet41]

Thankyou...I think..!

[@brno221973]

Moonfleet41 It was meant as a compliment 👍

[@bencross55]

[@Moonfleet41]

Blimey Martin, thanks buddy... you're too kind..

[@johnfournier2492]

Well done. Another great video producing excellent results. Cheers! 🤓

[@Moonfleet41]

Cheers John, much appreciated !

[@deangoundry]

Just done my forks with the same spray paint in satin, its turned out great, should i use some very fine wet and dry to get a better finish and polish it after or will it balls up with it been satin? Great videos del done alot of things i wouldnt of dreamed of without them.

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi mate, thanks for your kind words, if you sand and polish that satin paint, you'll end up with gloss.. and ir could even be patchy too... let it dry right out for about a month mate, and see if you're happy with the finish, it will sink more and more as it cures, and the finish should get smoother... so see how it goes, and you can always clearcoat it later if ou prefer a glossy look.. Good luck chap.. Del.

[@deangoundry]

Moonfleet41 brilliant thanks for the reply.

[@johnkimble1647]

Fine work Dell. Thanks for the vid.

[@robertmillington50]

That is a stunning finish can't wait to see if back on the bike it's going to look out of this world

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks buddy me too, getting excited now!

[@michaelray9727]

That looks bloody brilliant, amazing.

[@lajjvo]

Question Del: Spraying in such a small room, doesn't the spray mist get on everything in there?

[@Moonfleet41]

Yes mate, it does indeed but by the time it lands on anything more than 3ft from the job, it's dried anyway, so it's effectively just dust, so once it's all dry, I can open the door and blow the garage out and wipe down all the surfaces... just the cost of having to do everything in one space...!

[@lajjvo]

Righty-O. Doing my own project in a slightly larger 20 bike garage, I shouldn't have to be to worried about spray mist then. Got a nice 10x10 feet open area to use. Keep on trucking Del, love your content.

[@TheOrkboyz]

brilliant finish , job well done

[@brettwheaton6631]

it does seem to flow really nice for rattle cans , nice job mate looks awesome

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks buddy, it's just a matter of getting the coat thickness right, and the temperature in the room!

[@suzuki750stu]

Finish on the swing arm looks superb my end buddy, great job as always, regards Stu 🤘🤘

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Stu... hoping it's gonna dry out as nice as it looks now!

[@robertmunro4846]

Great job fantastic dell 😂😂

[@christophershirley1303]

(P) You're SO not gonna want to sell her when she's done!

[@Moonfleet41]

You know it mate ! Am already considering finding some storage for the bikes and just doing something for the next build that doesn't involve an expensive donor bike, but it's all costs, so may not have a choice !

[@Johny40Se7en]

Pretty good job, Delboy, the sides especially look great.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Johny.. much appreciated mate.
