Chopper Motorcycle Transformation (Why I love Spray Max)

Before picture

Here we started with what you see in the picture, a chopper that was painted with a somewhat conflicting design.  We just wanted to update it with the new  House of Kolor Shimrin 2  pearls for a more stealth-like design.  After studying the tank, we decided to keep the flames.  They were back masked, to prepare the rest of the tank for paint.

The steps we took are below:

1.  Wash and clean the tank.
2.  Used Spray Max Wax and Grease Remover and wiped dry with a lint free towel.
3.  Lightly sanded with 400 grit being careful to not break through the clear.  The old paint was still in good condition, so it wasn't necessary to take it all down.
4.  Masked off the flames.
5.  Used the wax and grease remover again and a tack cloth and it is ready to spray.
6.  Using the Spray Max 1K base coat, we painted two coats base coat black, waiting about 10 minutes between coats (When you set the can down for an extended time be sure to turn the can upside down and clear the nozzle each time. This prevents clogging and spitting).
7.  After 10 minutes we were ready to paint the House of Kolor Shimrin 2 charcoal pearl - color number 0047V.  We sprayed three coats of the pearl.  This was also in the Spray Max Aerosol 1K Base Coat.
8.  After drying for 10 minutes we used a tack cloth on the color in preparation for the clear coat. This helps pick up any loose dry pearl.
9.  Waiting 30-40 minutes we were ready to spray the Spray Max Glamour Clear Coat.
10.  We activated the clear coat cans with the button on the bottom of the 2K can, shook the cans about 5 minutes, and after spraying the first light coat, we turned the can upside down to clear the nozzle between coats (one of the most important steps in using the 2K product).
11.  We tested the clear coat between coats by putting our thumb on a wet spot on a masked off area to see if it was ready to spray.  If it is still stringy it is not ready; it should just be tacky and leave an imprint.
12.  We applied three more full wet coats. We stopped there, but you could wait until the clear was completely dry, block sand, and re-clear until the flames are completely leveled out in clear.
13.  Final picture is without color sanding and buffing.

Spray Max Motorcycle Color Change

I used the Spray Max 2K Single Stage Automotive Paint. I used exactly two cans to do the Motorcycle gas tank, front and rear fenders and the two side panels. The color was dead-on, exactly what I wanted. I did use an automotive primer before I painted. The paint coverage was excellent, with very little over spray. I did, as suggested, use several light coats. I also did some wet sanding after the first coat. The only automotive painting I have done has been really small touch-ups. I would recommend this product to beginners or seasoned pros. It is very easy to use, as with any paint you just need to patient.  This would definitely rate as an EXCELLENT product!

Spray Max - Kawasaki Motorcycle Restoration 1978 KZ650

Just wanted to send you guys some pictures of how my bike came out with your paint. It's a 1978 KZ650.

I've used spraymax clear once before with good results but this was the first time I used their whole system from the primer up. I ended up having one extra can of color and clear left over. I also used spraymax single stage on the frame and wheels.

Spray Max 1K Harley Motorcycle Paint Black Pearl

The fender in the middle is fiberglass and had to be painted to match the rest of the bike. To my surprise it was a perfect match. Even the metal flake and pearl came out perfect.

This was my first time painting with clear coat and no one can believe it came out of a rattle can. And this isn’t wet sanded yet either!
