Topic: Painting the inside of the fenders?

[jotor]

I have used the spray can underseal in the past and it seems to work pretty good.  However, on another site I saw a discussion about using spray-in bed liner to protect the fork legs of a bike from gravel chips.  I'm pretty sure it's available in a rattle can.  Don't know if I'd use it where it could be seen, but it might be just the thing for under fender "bullit-proofing".

Spray-on bedliner is all but invincible. Prep the underside of the fender w/ a wire brush and wash it in acetone and then just go at it. You could probably get the LINE-X guys to do it for cheap, and I bet they'd prep it, too. Their process is definitely tougher than the rattle-can variety and would probably last longer than our bikes will.

Know a guy did the tank of his flat black Ducati Monster 900 with it -- looked badass, definitely in line with the streetfighter look they're known for, and kept his knees in place!

I was just thinking it would be kind of cool to coat all the body parts and frame with that stuff.  You could even do the helmet if you want the full effect!

Hmmmm... If you were to coat your jacket and pants with the stuff and if God forbid you did come off the bike, it might work like  a Velcro suit.

I was thinking more like "boing... boing... boing... boing..."

By the time they found you you'd be in the next county.

Either that or it would create so much friction that you would instantly burst into flames.  What a way to go out!!

Hmmm...I wonder if this is the same Waxoyl they put on the underside of Land Rovers? That seems to be pretty good stuff. With the stuff they put on the land rovers, you wouldn't want to paint over it. It really is a hard wax with various additives. It does last a long time but may need occasional touch ups.

yes it probably is the stuff they use for landrovers- I don't think you could paint over it as it sort of looks like tarry stuff. It works well though if you're not too bothered about aesthetics. . I used to use it to protect the cills on my old style mini too.

I use 000 grade iron wool for some chrome that has gone bad. Then polish with Autosol to put a protective coating down. You must get rid of all the iron wool that flakes off or you will get a major problem when the wool flakes corrode and take down the surface they are adhering to, the exact term escapes me but you get it when you put two different metals togeter, on boats they use a 'sacraficial annode'...it's called...help me out here..
