Just painted my motorcycle plastic with crystal fx. this was my first try at it I think it has potential and if i were to do it again i would change a few things. Oh yeah i know the white looks ugly but i am going to put some grn retro glow over it so i want something that would reflect good. Tell me what you think and please kind in mind this is the first bike i have painted and I am just a hobbiest painter. thanks. Oh i forgot i was going to put a jade grn over it but i am selling the bike and i didnt want to make it worse and have to redo it to sell it.
Crystal FX
About to paint my motorcycle with crystal fx. there were a bunch of good posts on how not to waste this stuff. the spray bottle worked best for me. i tried alsa's way and man did i waste a bunch of this stuff. i could see the $'s going out the bottle and on the ground. i am going to do a blk base and white over the top. this will not look that impressive but i figure wht will be the best background for the retro glow grn. i will take pix of this from primer to wet sand if anyone is interted if not i will do before and after. here is a test panel for all those that are interested.

here is the bike minus the tank. i am going to use mirra chrome on the tank to get a chrome like finish. directions say to let it dry for 7-10 days so i will paint it next sat. here is the bike together.
