  1. thanks for the kind words guys. it was all done in sharpie. i'm thinking about clear coating it, but i'm worried the sharpie will start to smudge since it's not water-based.
  2. Since I'm in the process of painting my bike, I thought I'd deck out my helmet to match the scheme I have going on. This is what I have so far. Still have to work on the other side. Cheers.
  3. lovely pets here. this is roxy and riley - shepherd/beagle mix.
  4. The ninja will not disappoint. Good luck with the classes!
  5. Is there someone here that could mount and balance my front tire? I was thinking about calling that 'moto mobile tire service' on craigslist, but I just need someone quick and cheap. I'm near worthington next to 161. Thanks.
  6. 1hotbox wins on a scion xb!!! there was one out in denver that said 'ILVTOFU' she claims to be a vegetarian but i think she loves the cock.
  7. i would've cried myself to sleep every night with a box of tissues and vaseline ftw.

  9. yay. congrats! now go celebrate with a power wheelie
  10. Thanks for the tips! Met up w/ Attackpainter this evening and he gave me some pretty good pointers (returning the dupli-color paint tomorrow, lol). Looking forward to finishing up the sanding tomorrow. No fairing rash at all. Plastics were near mint. Pretty ballsy of me to use nice looking plastics on my first attempt. Don't worry, I'm pretty anal about imperfection, so I don't mind if it takes me forever just to get the primer to go on smooth.
  11. Hello people. So I just started prepping my plastics to be painted. I'll be doing the painting with a spray gun as well (first time). I've spent quite some time researching in forums, but since I'm fairly new at this I wanted to get a few tips from the people who are familiar with body work. I haven't gotten very far, but I wanna make sure that I take the time to perfect the prepping stage. Washed all plastics with soap and water. Once dried, I used dupli-color prep-spray (wax & grease remover). Then I dry sanded with a 'P240 very fine' wet/dry sand paper. It came out pretty smooth, but I'm worried once I go to prime will the scratches be visible? So I was thinking about following up w/ some wet sanding using the same grit paper to possibly smooth it out a bit. Would this be okay? That's how much I've accomplished so far. Still got a lot of work, but things are going pretty smooth. As far as priming, do I need to lay a coat of adhesion promoter for the plastic? I was thinking about going that route instead of epoxy primer since I already bought regular dupli-color primer. If I use the adhesion promoter, will I need to fine-sand that as well? Does the promoter only come in aerosol can, because that's all I can find. That's it for now. I'm pretty sure I'll have plenty of questions along the way. I'll update with pictures as I go along. Cheers
