Alright. Del. Got yourself some nice kit there now, fella, a lovely place to work and play. The Black Bomb is looking mean, and with age, am considering a cruiser myself, maybe an old Indian, but enough of my daydreams for now..... It's great how you show every stage clearly, some people will really appreciate that, it'll give them confidence to tackle things for the first time, I like watching people's techniques, even a small tip is well received by me, even after 40 years of playing with bikes, watching the stages some define as 'boring' or 'unnecessary' can still yield something. Example: Not everyone knows/thinks to place spacers/washers back on the bolt in their correct order, little things like that will save a novice hassle. I've seen experienced people mess up by not doing little things like that which may appear to be obvious to some, isn't obvious to others. I noticed your 'someone' criticising you not too long back for showing what they deemed 'unnecessary' , but hey, the human condition is a very strange thing, and that one runs deep, man. Displacement and projection.... haha. Where thought goes, energy flows, so enough of that! I'm off for round 2 now. Nice one, bud.

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Thanks buddy, i agree, if you're following a video to coy and do it for your own bike then you need the stages one by one so you don;t miss anything critical.. Have a great weekend ad keep safe. D&Px

@VPB1970 2 года назад

You could do as i did. Get one of those big plastics (the biggest you can find) to cover the furniture when painting the ceilings, and make a kind of tent around the bike or the part you are working on. You´ll have to wear a good mask (like you did) to prevent from breathing toxics but it prevents the dust from going everywhere. I just used fishing poles, ties and bricks to seal the contraption and it worked fairly well . Your end result was perfect! Ps: i was doing it on my own garage, with my car parked on the side.....

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Cheers buddy, plastic sheets work well as they have a static quality that actually attracts the paint dust, so effectively sucks it out of the air... good call!

Awesome results on the forks brother ! I've used that paint stripper wheel in the past and it has worked great ! 👍 way better than regular pain stripper brother , unless you get one with heavy duty chemicals on it . Great job brother keep up the great work !!!!! stay safe guys cheers from new york 🍺🍺🍷🍷

@MHLivestreams 2 года назад

I've used 'strypit' which seems to work pretty well. It's cheap-ish, thin enough to be volatile, and thick enough to stay in position. Nitromors 'crafstman' seems to be the most powerful, but it's too thin, so can cause dribble issues. Strypit isn't that good on multiple coatings of paint, as I discovered on my gsxr wheels,, needs working in, and reapplication. Used it because it was here. Definitely recommend the nitromors. Paint on forks is very thin, and comes off a treat. Use 00 (fine) wire wool. As del touched upon, it has to be washed off properly, or will bubble the new paint. Might look into one of those grinder discs, seems pretty cool, i'm interested to see how they perform.

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Yeah, absolutly, i have trashed so many paint jobs due to chemical paint stripper residue i will never use it again, not when these paint removal fleece discs do the job so easily, and apart maybe from the dust, they are kinder to the environment that harsh corrosive chemicals that stay in the removed paint mess and end up in land fill... plus, seriously, its way cheaper, these fleece discs are about £4 each, and last ages.. way less than the chemicals ! Take crae guys and have a great weekend.

@myz06rocks 2 года назад

I think the hardest thing for the DIY painter to resist is going for that shiny complete look on the first coat. It’s so tempting! Hope that oxidation doesn’t return. Once it starts it can be a bear to fight off. My 2 year old vehicle with new hinges and doors will attest to this.

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Yeah, it's a constant battle for sure, but if brand new metal as it came from the factory can go like this, then it's pointless thinking you can ever cure it permanently, this was caused by the badly designed dress covers, and ill be removing them to stop that cause again, but corrosion will always happen when i bike gets ridden in the weather right?... have a great weekend sir, and keep safe..

A cracking job. I was a bit sceptical at first, as I've done something similar and struggled to get all the old paint off and it ends up looking decidedly average. But those wheels work well and the end result looks top notch. I did think I spotted a deliberate mistake though during the cleaning stage, which isn't like you.

@jjrider6758 2 года назад

Going by personal experience I reckon this is the way forward - Powder coating isn't infallible, it can still be chipped by road grit just like paint (though admittedly not quite so easily) then you get moisture ingress again and the corrosion process continues, only this time it's harder to fix the problem because powder coating is a real b*stard to get off, the only practical way is to have it professionally redone at further cost and lost riding time..

@granite676 2 года назад

Why didn't you use etch primer first Del ? Aluminium does not like just being overcoated it NEEDS an etch to make the top coats stick and be harder wearing. 🤔🤔🤔 I learned this the hard way years ago back when first got into doing bikes up because the aluminium WILL eventually try and shed the paint. Etch primers acid base 'keys' the surface better to allow subsequent coats to bond better. 👍

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Check at 9:57 , held that can up and pointed at the "No Primer Required" because i always get this same objection... ive been using this product for ten years since i first stumbled across is for painting a side stand... and that side stand is still good, no chips or flaking a decade on.. so it works mate 🤔🤔🤔!

@granite676 2 года назад

@@Moonfleet41 mmm. . . Must have some sort of etch in it already because any metal non ferrous doesn't like a covering. Ally or galv plated. But if you've found it works then I ain't arguing I'm just old school and still don't trust these new fandangled paint systems. 😅😅👍

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

@@granite676 Sure thing mate, it doesn't make sense in excepted logic to me either, but two things stand out, one is that it works like 'Hammerite' which has been around WW2, and the factory paint had primer under it and it still failed, so tbh mate, I don't think this will last forever on aluminium as, quite rightly like you said, nothing does, not even chrome or powder coat... but for £6 a can and a few hours of my time, I can do it every couple of years if I need to, thanks for your input buddy.

You can consider this video the same as a frame, clean the metal till it's shiny bright, keyed to at least 400 grit, and either use a primer-free stone chip paint like this, or if you're using a regular paint then use an acid etch primer first! Good luck with it!

A brass drift and a brass hammer are a mechanics friend. For that particular job, a wooden dowel would likely have worked but you need those tools in you box anyway. Paint job came out very nice. Is that a typical place for corrosion though? Never saw that before.

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Hey buddy, a wood dowel wouldn't have worked in this case as you do need to tap quite hard and the cut end you're tapping is quite sharp, so imagine it would split a wood dowel immediately, but the brass works fine, I guess you could even use aluminium... this corrosion was caused by the covers themselves, they harbour the salt crud and promote the corrosion, all covered in the next video online tomorrow!

Yes, i guess you could, the brushed finish will act as a key for the clear coat which would then hold up better then clear over polished forks..

Hi Del, would you advise using that paint removal fleece on plastic parts to remove the paint?

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

No buddy, i'd imagine that would scuff up the plastic pretty badly...plastic panels aren't much tougher than the paint over them..! i only use them on metal..!

Interested to know as to why they corrode? Is it the UK weather or the salt they put on the roads?

@sopp2769 2 года назад

Great info from your wealth of knowledge, what was that tune at the end of the vid?

@BuildBreakFix 2 года назад

but if you have corrosion eat the surface like that then it normally goes much deeper making it weaker? painting over it does not address the integrity issues.

I just inherited a Dyna Low Rider (1999) so I found this very useful! What year is the one in this video? It looks pretty sharp.

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Congratulations John, that's a great bike you have there. The bike here in the video is a Dyna Lowrider S, from 2016, they only made them for 18 months before they were replaced by the new Softail lowrider, so pretty rare.!

Surprised with the bare metal you didn’t etch prime before paint.
