I love this, but wish you would spend more time discussing the clear coat process. Example, how many coats, wet sanding between coats or not, dry time (cure time), and final wet sand/buff/polish procedures. That’s a very important step I feel was “glossed” over lol.

[@florianw.6073]

Thats what de Moto Community need💪🏼

[@AaronColton93]

Just a little inspired to keep their projects trucking!

[@vn8272]

So proud of my dude Aaron ✊😮✊

[@Smallbore2wheels]

Awesome. Great tips 🤙🏼

[@ChrisWatson-jk7of]

Great video Aaron. Doing my Road King fairing soon and that was helpful! Hopefully it comes out that good! 💪🇺🇸👍

[@RedBullBike]

nice, painting bikes! oh no, wait... *leaves.

[@AaronColton93]

This process should work on all two wheelers 😎

[@Sir_Wilo]

came out amazing

[@spudtree]

You know its gonna be great when their name is Aaron

[@edgarflores881]

Would love some product information and where to purchase. I am doing a mini bike build on my other KZbin channel and love the results you achieved. Currently getting the frame down to bare metal.

[@davidelizabeth4933]

Nicely done. 👍 👨‍👩‍👧❤

[@AaronColton93]

Thank you!

[@Cee-FJedi]

Awesome video thanks for the tips. What type of paint did you use at each stage as I couldn't see it clearly. Thanks again .

[@jontheismusic]

Is that AC using a rattle can to paint a bike? Must have learned that from Tice 😄

[@AaronColton93]

Hahah. Thought me what not to do if you want a quality job 🤣

[@uses0ap]

1 can of that clear coat is like $20...

[@AaronColton93]

If you shop around you can get it closer to $15. It is the only real clear I have found in a can. All others lack the hardness and shine needed.

[@silkboxing4454]

Great Job but Powder-coat is the way to go

[@smidly7192]

I just use a bunch of crayola markers (the big ones)

[@damensutherland7081]

You ever use kbs extreme its ceramic you think its as durable as cerakote

[@A1MotoFab]

I love all of your videos but you dropped the ball on this one.. If the purpose is to educate on a quality, inexpensive job - you skipped any and all hints about the color & final coat. In primer you mention a 50% overlap and other details... but when you reach color/clear the video cuts to finished and we get no info on the most important part! Color and clear! How much overlap? How far from the part do you spray? How quick do you spray subsequent layers? Sanding between coats? Between clear? What if it looks dusty?

[@rodolfoa.sanchezhuaytalla6697]

Hi! Excellent videos. A question, what alternative to Spray Max 2K? I can't find it in my country, I'm from Peru. Thanks!

[@ryanlowe2808]

Not a lot of alternatives in a can like this, but if you look for any spray clear with hardener, you’ll be good. 2K is a 2 part clear coat, which is why it’s so good. Without the hardener, it’s just not going to be nearly as good. I know about 3 other brands that sell 2K in a can, Eastwood has one, Upol has one as well. Otherwise, you’ll need a spray gun and then purchase automotive (2 part) clear, this I’ve used with a cheap guy and 3 gallon compressor on small projects with no issues. Good luck!

[@バキ抜きぐんぴぃ切り抜き]

クール！

[@LICOYT]

I spray painted my bike. Looked fine when it was done, but within 6 months the finish was total crap. When I took it to a pro to have it done, he didn't want to take the job because the rattle can paint is not compatible with professional-grade paint. Spray painting my bike ruined it. I can't believe Red Bull is promoting this.

[@AaronColton93]

That is unfortunate that you where not able to get good results with your rattle can job. With the use of this 2k clear this will last years and years of use without issue as it has been very durable and chemical resistant in other projects of mine. Also you where misinformed by your painter. If you have an understanding of what type of can product you are using Acrylic/alkyd/lacquer you can accompany it with a professional product later on if you take the time to prep and prime properly. You don’t have to believe it if you don’t want to but it is true and that is why we are sharing videos of this style.

@@AaronColton93 Did you spray paint the honda build for day in the dirt or was that powder coated/cerakote?

[@AaronColton93]

@@Brandon-ot9yn Hey Brandon! All of the Bronzed colored and black components where Cerakoted on the CR.
