How to Paint your Motorcycle (Chameleon). In Less Than 6 Hours! 

man. friendly guys they hangin out like they been friends for ever. we need more people like this.

Yeah I wish I had the equipment... Shit I don't even have a bike to paint

Last time I set up a tent like that in backyard and dressed like that going in there I had DEA called over

My father and I have always painted our own parts as far as cars and bikes go. The only thing I can't do is powder coat, reason being because you need an oven for that. We use our shed just like you. The guy is not lying, anyone can do it! The hardest part is mixing the paint.

I remember the first time I ever painted anything. It was in about 1990, paining a 1974 Harley FXE. My intention was to paint it black, with blue pearl added to about every 3rd or 4th layer of clear (with about 20 layers total) to give it a "deep" look. Picked out some 1986 GM black and put down 4 coats. Looking good! Never worked with Pearl before, so I added a full rounded tablespoon into my 4th layer of clean. Now I got a blue bike lol What was cool was this, completely by accident: In the daytime, the bike was sparkling blue. In the dawn or at dusk, it was purple, and at night it was black. Completely by accident!

that is a sweet paint job. I'm inspired to paint my yzf 600r thundercat. Thanks to you and edlover. tell your boy I'm jelly

Good job guys .accomplishing things on your own it's a great feeling and it's the foundation for later projects. The sky is the limit.! Great attitude and team work. 2 thumbs up..

some of you guys that are just getting started in painting. ARE DOING a hell of a job. i do it at a shop for a living. and you are doin it like a pro bro. great job. thats tight.

primer is not needed for bikes, bare metal and body fillers only, and if you scuff first then wash with a scuff pad and dishsoap (dawn is the best) you definitely dont need the primer, for what you're doing , and by the way i got my training from DuPont, 18 years painting plastics.

I have to give BIG props to BigBandit007 for letting me swing by his paint booth and teaching me how to properly paint, we were out there until about 12:30am.I was getting so damn sleepy but once I saw that paint drop I woke up like as if I drank 4 cups of coffe at one time...., Big up to you my brother.

That's a blessing that your teaching him this is brotherly love real talk. I appreciate the video. Iam a paint my bike a crazy color bro!!! You gave me confidence!!!

After laying down the Chameleon paint, Ed got really religious. Paint looks really good. Thanks for inspiring me to paint my bike.

I got a 2006 r1 I need in all red how much u charging

Good job man. Keep up the good work.

BIG THANK YOU! for taking the time to make the video and seeing how you made a small paint boot using basic material now i can make one and start to practice. Paint is something ive been interested in while.

As someone who would love to one day do custom work to bikes, I adore these videos. This is great stuff.

Man lots of morons talking about he ruin the resale value. You guys realize it is the owners decision to modify his vehicle right? Its not like dude decided to pick up a random bike from his street then paint it to surprise the owner. As far as his skill its great!

Beautiful 👌😎

Great job ! This is a great idea for custom colors. Great color too by the way. I actually ordered a couple of sets of Chinese aftermarket fairings and it takes 30 min to switch out. I usually go all black in the winter and either green or blue during the summer.

Man u did awesome work! I’m getting ready to re-paint my Suzuki TL1000s. This video really helped me out. I’ve painted a vehicle before but I need fairing repairs like u did. Thanks again! Ur paint was just deadly!

Nice work bro

You never did explain why you didn't wet sand that last chameleon coat. I am very curious.

I like what you said about sharing information a lot of people get greedy and don't share much of anything I'm glad there are still ppl who think like you do :b

Thanks for the great content. Way to bring awareness to the community. People need to know they can do this on their own without paying $500

How long should you wait for black to dry before applying chameleon

hope you put expander in there.... plastic expands and shrinks which cracks the paint/clear if you dont put that in

Even though I'm not a big fan of chameleon pain jobs, the whole process was wicked cool to watch.

man that looks so fucking good though. not really a fan of these kind of colors but it does look awesome.

great paint job ... thks...i love you man......zidane from algeria

good idea. Thanks for watching,

That just looks bloody lovely, I've loved the chameleon effect ever since I saw the TVRs as a kid.

BADASS

They epoxy primer bonds to plastic you don't need to wet sand it just base coat or use a high build primer over it if you need to get scratches or chips out I've been subscribed talked to you a few months ago check out dnas kustom on facebook to see some of my work I have a video of a tank I painted on my channel

Now that is fire . I got a 02 r1 want to do the same thing good work bro

yu once again did ya thing... i just got done watching the Marble effect and tangerine... i started thinking about painting bikes and cars and you helped me out alot. i got supplies on the way... once again hats off to yu homie.

damn he hasn't been active in 2 years

"If you don't have scotchbrite, use 1500 grit". lol Red scrotchbrite and 1500 are so far on the opposite ends of the abrasive spectrum, it's not even funny.

Turned out great! Very impressive!

That turned out super sweet...

Are you supposed to hold the paint gun like a hood gangsta holds a 45 auto.

open a petstore instead of paint bikes

That's amazing awesome job love the colors

you are absolutely right, working together sharing information. together we can run the world.

awesome job, but chameleon? good way to de-value the bike thousands of dollars, and lose a large group for re-sale.

That is amazing work. Good Job! Beautiful.

Thanks to you, I got the balls to paint my 88 sportster. DOesnt look anywhere as good as your work but I like it. I dont have a hvlp setup so I used duplicolor mirage. With a activated clear coat over the tank and the clear coat that came with the kits on the rest of the bike

That ride looks gorgeous now! Excellent paintjob!

I like the Dexter outfit at 2:30! Fun an informative, good job and teamwork guys!

Just commented on another vid. One thing... you know... but I Love your technique and all the bikes

Loved your work bigbandit!!!! Take care

Only one word needed for that man, SICK!! might just have to do mine now :)

Hey Big Bandit, lots of love here from the UK baby. I trade as Alienpaints here and specialize in bike custom paint. The biggest thing at the moment here is Chameleon mini flake. We work a little like you on the fly but where you stop we carry on and wet flat back the 2k lacquer every 3 coats until we have up to 15 coats of lacquer so you look down through to the finish beneath. Will try and post some vids for you. Keep up the good work and share the love.

That works very well with the black. Good color choice.

Dang!! that came out sik!! wish I 've seen and new about this color when it first came out, now days everyone has among wraps and plasti dip. Great Job guys Props! God Bless you guys!! From da Bay Area Cali

Nice paint video's! , simple but with good results!

looks great with all those black out components, only thing i'd change is the red rim lines, although they do kind of also give it that special attitude.

great to watch excellent colour I have never painted before thanks bill
