Has anyone ever took on the challenge of painting their engine, while still mounted in the bike? After almost 3 years of trying to get my 91 engine working right, I finally have it running smooth from idle to WOT. The P.O. did not care for the max properly and removed the paint on the stator...

I'm pretty sure I saw a wright-up on polishing the faux scoops and side covers but I really cant find it. Not even sure it was here. I don't want to polish them, not looking for any extra gloss. I'm only interested in removing the OEM paint from these trim pieces that are partially painted...

Thought i would try a new paint scheme on the old Honda CX.This is what i came up with.

I am looking for paint codes for 2012 raiders. The problem is color rite paint codes do not cross reference over to other brands of paint. I have a painter to paint the parts and access to paint codes. Tried scanning and comes up no match. Any help would be great.

There may be info on this somewhere but I can't find it. Does anyone know where to get oem paint for the vmax body kits? Are there paint codes somewhere that will allow colour matching? I ride an 88 canadian import that is blue but appears to have a purple hue in some light. How do I match...

Hi, I'm looking to buy an '07 used exhaust from a nearby CL add to replace my dinged up left side muffler on my '88. As I'm sure you know the end caps on the '07 exhaust are black whereas mine are chrome. Knowing very little about how the exhaust is put together, it appears that I cannot...

http://www.thecoatingstore.com/pgc-o461-molten-orange-pearl-paint/ This is the color I want to paint my bike. I found a local body guy who does good work from what I have seen on my friends Mustang he just got back from the guy. Just don't know about this kind of paint.

My old '86 Max looks like an '86 Max! The paint on the engine is pealing off and the frame has light rust on many spots. Brake fluid from leaking master cylinders has also run down the frame and removed paint and in some spots left the paint kind of flakey. I suck at painting so I plan to...

I'm wanting to paint my 86 Max to the 92 Max' Red-E Sparkle color. I ordered the Color Rite top coat #5480-1 plus their clear coat off of Amazon.com for a good price but Color Rite says I need to apply a base after applying primer and before applying the top coat. Color Rite says I need...

I am thinkimg about painting my '85 an orange-ish or burnt orange-ish color. I am interested in some opinions on what brand of paint to get. I am definately not a body man so I dont know much about this stuff. I do have an auto body shop that is gonna give me a good deal but he wants me to...

I purchased 2 used Aluminium "Toxic" Covers about 3 or so inches in diameter. I think one is a Water Pump cover. You will notice a Toxic Symbol Etched into the surface. Is it possible to color the etching, and leaving the rest of the aluminium surface Face as is??? Thanks guys, KarmaKatt

Shala recently had her scoops powdercoated "Adams over Gold" to match her wheels that she had powdered last year. "Adams over Gold" is basicly gloss black powder with some very fine flake blended in over the top. Her wheels really POP in the sunlight. Then she wanted her custom V4 three...

What is the easiest way to strip the paint off all the small cast parts one might want to re-powdercoat? I'm planning on doing the pieces above the headlight, the brace that says yamaha where the front brakes connect, grab rail, side pannels and faux intakes.. Gotta have it done for the...

If anyone in the greater Orlando area is looking for some paint work on their bike (or anything for that matter), I have a friend who does excellent work and is priced right. If you saw the pictures i posted of my Super Magna restore, the paint work was done by him. If you are in the area and...
