Honda Gold Wing GL1000 Paint Restoration




Russ dropped by our retail store after he finished painting his Honda Gold Wing GL1000.  It turned out very nice. Beautiful blue. (Clear coat is so mirror reflective, you can see the cracks in the pavement reflecting in the tank.)

Products used and quantity:  (1) Spray Max 1k Base Coat
                                           (1) Spray Max Glamour Clear Coat (SPM-3680061)

Before

The Beautiful - After
This is a before and after of the same bicycle I restored last year. A 1952 girls Schwinn. Using your automotive spray can. Fun project! It's not completely finished.

Spray Max - Customer Spraying Tips

Tips:  My tips would be to use a good degreaser/wax remover, and to sand and prime until you have a nice smooth surface.  I used a tack cloth and an air can to remove dust.  I stored my paint indoors to keep at a constant temperature.  I used a hair dryer to heat the surface before painting.  It was a cool day, but the paint went on beautifully...no runs or streaks.

66 Auto Color Store made my DIY CT70 Mini Trail replica project look like a professional job!  I've never painted anything beyond a bird house, or an occasional trailer rim.  66 Auto helped with my paint selection, primer and clear coat.  The instructions that accompany the order are easy to understand, and ensure a successful project.

My next project is going to be fixing rust spots on my '73 VW bus.  I have no doubt that 66 Auto Color will make that project a breeze as well.
