What kind of paint did you use, and procedure. Been looking around online and some say spray paint can work some say it cant. Tried painting mine and surface had junk on it looked like hell.

If you are painting plastics you must use plastic specific primer, paint and laquer to allow for flexing. a dust free spray area is a must and the more time spent on prep the better the results, alchohol wipes are good for final wipe downs.

Al.

PS. I find using the kitchen as a spray booth usually leads to trouble. :lol:

The bike is only a £500 work hack, since the pictures where taken it has had a new chain fuel tap and fuel cap and as for highly polished wheels and pipes I'm not that anal about the bike been down the hours of polishing after every run route before this is just for work and a bit of lanes fun at the weekend. I got the other bike as my main road bike.

Well I think your paint job is so unique, I didn't recognise the bike as a Baggie. Very good job.

Well practically finished it now new chain fitted and changed the petrol tap and put the dark blue pinstripe on it.
even cleaned the rims up a bit
I think the side panels need something on them to break the colour up a bit, any ideas?
