I got bored and started painting.. (pictures)
 

Picked up some Ceramic Enamel in Low Gloss Black (Semi-Flat, identical to the frame color on new SVs). I prepped and sprayed my passenger pegs, stock can, and ring around the guages on my 06'

I'm gonna do the rearsets tonight, just got too damn hot last night. I didn't do the ring around the headlight because I have some dual lamps and flyscreen coming from a Buell XB12 tomorow.

Before...

The stock grenade launcher looks better now, in my opinion but is still pretty heinous, I'm going for a new can next chunk of money I get but it'll do for now.

Also, take note that I only have one third eye mirror on, as I went to get a money order right quick and when I came back out the right one was missing, odd.

Given due time I will black out as much as I can, such as fork legs and yokes and whatnot, because blacked out is best...

I like that!

Well done.

Where did you get the paint from?

I'm thinking of doing both sets of pegs, rider and pillion. And since it looks great on yours, I hope you don't mind me copying.

By all means copy, I copied spraying the ring around the guages off someone else anyway, haha.

As far as materials I used, around a 400 or 600 grit paper to prep, then cleaned that with Goo-Gone and wiped dry.

The paint I used was a Spray-On Ceramic Enamel, dubbed "Engine Enamel" in Automobile Stores. It's high temp rated to 500 degrees Farenheight. I bought it an Auto-Zone, but any car shop should have it.

A couple other brands have some stuff exactly the same if you can't find that.


I need some assistance in getting the damn rearsets off. I couldn't quite figure it out.

You just need to cover the blue then your bike will go faster :lol: :lol:

Just because so many people hate on the 06' Blue, I'm keeping it and even buying a color matched chin spoiler.

Maybe even matching leathers and helmet.

(leathers and helmet is a lie, even I couldn't get away with that one)

Then you could be the BLUE Power Ranger :lol:

That would be me then. :oops:

Do the forks, number one priority!

Did you really paint it? Or just turn out the lights?
