thank you , iv got a 2009 bow g65gs that some one backed into it at a shopping center, three pieces broke off , I was able to glue the three pieces and then used a plastic epoxy with some cut off fiberglass tape , the glue didn't really go into the edges of one of the broken pieces , after seeing this repair with the Dremel , I"ll give it another go as Finding a used faring has not been susessful , thanks so much
Hi Kel - Just found this video and you may actually be some good news I needed. Did you ever do a video showing how to properly paint/spray plastic fairings? My bike was stolen, now found, and is at a shop. One of those situations though where the investment to fix it will outweigh the value of the bike, but I have found a shop that has a great reputation and he understand my situation. Damage is alot of plastic fairings scrapes and imperfections...and then a turn signal, key lockset, brake, clutch lever, clutch, and maybe internal wiring. And I already have all those parts. But just now it dawned on me that maybe all these plastic fairings could be filled in, sanded down, primed, painted, and clear coated. All using the existing parts on my bike. If you have a video after the prep process or how to professional get a high end finish...that would be amazing. I just bought all the fairings OEM, and you can imagine that i now I'm questioning the process. But if I can return those and redirect that money back into the actual labor and mechanical parts necessary to make it safe for me to get back on the road, that would be such a huge help
Go to my channel, there are 2 or 3 vids on how to spay to finish. Try "How to spray a 3 layer pearl" That should start you in right direction. Good luck my friend.
@@howtowithkel3352 Thanks my friend for writing back so quickly. Appreciate it and I will absolutely go find and watch on channell and like and subscribe. If i decide to go this route, I would love to ask for your opinion on a couple things after I actually have access to the bike. Again, thanks so much and have a great weekend ahead.
Hey Medusa, if your panel is in reasonable condition and doesn't need repair. All you need is 600 wet and dry paper. Take all the shine off the panel so it is completely dull and your ready to paint. If you have to sand filler, 320 then 400 and 600. If you want a show bike finish you will have to sand the clear coat with 2000 and then polish it. For best results sand wet and use a block wherever possible. If you need more help i'm always happy to help.
@@howtowithkel3352 thats great thank u kel i appreciate it , i will be doing it in about 2 weeks time , ill let you know how i get on , thanks again 👍👌
Medusa...how did you get on? My yellow 749 fairing and mirror need scratch repair and respraying after someone dropped it (3 times in succession) turning around on a hill. I am not sure what the paint code on a 2003 (53 plate) is though.
