New paint job on Fairing

ryancooksey · 06-29-2011, 05:31 PM

Finally Finishing up on my fairing 96 sweat breaking hours in the body shop. Did all the body work myself along with the design of it and masking taping but didnt spray it. Have a very close buddy that is a exellent paint man and very very pleased. Its a 1600 Hoppe Quadzilla. From start to finish I had 8 coats of body filler to fill in and sand off. 4 coats baked on primer. 2 coats sealer. Painted 4 flat tins until I found the paint scheme that I liked. On to the paint: The bottom sides are black middle are 3 designs with the top design being 2 coats of rainbow pearl, middle design black with 1 coat white pearl, bottom 1 coat rainbow pearl. Top of the fairing is black with one coat pearl. These pictures do not give it justice because the black with one coat pearl looks grey metalic when you look at it from the top and if you look at it on the sides it looks straight black. Any of the rainbow pearl have about 6-7 side tones which means if you look at it front on looks silver move 2" over to one side it look green with blue fading on red an so on. So if I would be on a 2 lane hwy with another car coming from the opposite direction it would look like a streaked prism as they past. Will post more pictures once I let the pain cure so I can assemble it and install

cajun2wheels · 06-29-2011, 07:54 PM

Can't wait to see it on the bike.

That will look really good when you get it mounted on the bike, Thats a lot of hours you put into it, be careful of stone chips.

Great looking, put it on and post a picture.

blowndodge · 06-30-2011, 07:47 PM

Considering what I make per hour for working, I'd let someone else do it!!

No way I'm working over 2 weeks labor for a 1,000 dollar painted fairing....just sayin

Looks beautiful BTW!!!

**ringadingh** · 06-30-2011, 08:42 PM

Its therapy Brad, and a labour of love. ;)

blowndodge · 06-30-2011, 08:43 PM

I get it now! Thanks Steve..

**glwilson** · 06-30-2011, 09:04 PM

Looks real nice. You should be happy with your efforts!

Pay no attention to the money-grubbing BD!!!

rcooksey · 07-01-2011, 12:57 AM

Thanks guys!! Alot of work and it was time I would have been sleeping on the couch

But like I said one of my best buds is doing the paint and he volunteered to do it for FREE! Thinking hes gonna get a fridge full of beer. We just got done spraying the final two coats clear on tonight then let it cure over the long weekend got the inner and stereo on last night. Pictures soon to come.

rickyboy · 07-01-2011, 01:05 AM

Look fwd. to seeing the completed job on the bike.
Looks great from what I can see. I doubt the pics do it justice.

AlabamaNomadRider · 07-01-2011, 03:18 AM

Really great looking paint scheme. Looking forward to seeing it mounted on the bike.
