Default new paint job!

so i bought this bike used, and the paint job was pretty horrible. bunch of chips/scratches from the previous owner dropping it. whoever painted it did a horrible prep job, i had to CHIP the paint off before i could even sand it. so i figured i'd give it my usual paint job.

TRUCK BEDLINER. i've done my old car and bike with it already, and it's awesome. looks like flat, but textured. holds up to scratches, never have to wash it, and if it needs a touchup, i just spray that spot and it blends in :biglaugh

now i just gotta take care of the ugly white wheels...

now for the pics:

before shot:



after:









and the other bedliner vehicles:

Flat/matte black is so cliche...but I will say it does look better than before.

Looks good. Black is a becoming cliche on sport bikes. Never really liked that colour on bikes, it doesnt show the sexy lines that most sport bikes have looks great though.

Almost Thunderdome-esque...

But, I bet the paint will be hard to scratch!
