flat clear coat?
« on: April 21, 2008, 06:16:30 PM »
My bikes flat black, and I'm thinking about throwing a splash of color on there.
Has anybody ever done or seen some airbrush work with a satin low gloss surface finish?

I've done a fair amount of airbrushing but not much auto or cycle work.

Yes but as I understand it that wouldn't stand up very well to fuel and oil.

 ...the previous owners paint job. Which looks ok... except for a fair amount of deep chips like it's been sitting in someones shop for years.
It is in very good condition on the inside.
The emblem depressions have been smoothed over.
I was planning on stripping it down and just going with the flat black.

I may be repainting in a year or two anyway.
why not  8)
