Tour Pak Painting

I thought everyone might like a review of some paint I tried on my Tour Pak. I used waterborne paint from Touch Up Direct. I'm no painter but I thought it turned out pretty good. I couldn't find much on paint like this before I started so I thought it would be good to get this out there.

Nicely done! Feels good to do something like this on your own, doesn't it?

Although I'm not a painter either, I thoroughly enjoyed painting my bikes.

Looks really good, did you use the sprayer paint, or the rattle cans?

I used rattle cans. I used 1 can of their primer, 2 cans of blue, 1 silver and 2 clear and the cost was around $140 if I remember right. The quality of the rattle cans nozzle is waaaay better than any I have ever used.

That does look awesome to be from rattle cans............. I have a set of hard lowers, and I've been putting painting them off cause I just don't have the room to drag out the sprayer stuff, but with the rattle cans.................all I'll need is a corner to paint in. I've had their site bookmarked for a while, just might give them a call
Thanks.
