I have used this stuff a lot on my truck. I just ordered some Red and Pearlizer to
do some parts on my black vaquero.

I've used Plasti-dip on my car rims. Works out really well. Much better than paint.

That's correct plumber63, that's what it used to look like. If the look grows on me I will get it painted properly,

As time has gone by owning this Vaq i came to the conclusion, for me, that the front half of the skoot was a bit to bulky looking, too much red. This conspired to lessen my liking the front. When I looked at the skoot from the back I was happy, but that front half just was too bizzy.

Recently I looked at the 2014 Vaqs on Kawi's website. I really liked how Kawi blacked out the front side cowls on the orange SE. This allowed the front fairing to stand out on it's on and I really liked that affect.

I decided to do something with my skoot. I considered having it painted, but the cost and down time was a no go. My friend Mark suggested having the sides wrapped, but everyone I called either did not want to do bike stuff and/or did not have the matt black that I wanted. Remembering this thread I went to Home Depot and bought 4 cans of plasti dip.

We pulled the chin cowl off yesterday and coated it. First coat it looked kinda ok. Second coat did it, looked good and real smooth. So thi mornin the side cowls came off and got coated.

I like the affect, takes alot of the bulkiness out of the look of the front end.

Here's a before pic of the front...

and after...

Before from the back...

and now...

My Vaq now has a better look that I prefer.We used one full can and used some into a second can, got 2 cans left for???
