Paint protection
Ghostbandit on Mon 14 Dec 2015, 1:01 am
Hey all, thought I'd share some pics of some top notch paint protection I just had added to the big blue girl, the pics don't do her justice, some seriously good stuff, makes the paint like glass. It's called opti-coat plus cost $350 to get done, and the guy even applied the leather treatment to my holeshot Corbin seat aswel as giving the bike a whole detail:D

Looks great. Is it applied as a whole bike or are parts removed and treated?

Applied as whole of bike, I would hate to think how much it would be if it was to fully disassemble@2wheelsagain wrote:Looks great. Is it applied as a whole bike or are parts removed and treated?

looks very shiny, you could shave in that reflection off the tank.

I guess I was wondering about how they protected the important bits
I'll see if there is a Victorian connection because I reckon the VFR1200 could do with this.

Yea I love it, I actually think it makes the blue a deeper colour aswel, might just be with the reflections though..@madmax wrote:looks very shiny, you could shave in that reflection off the tank.

Yea it would be great if they fully stripped and dipped it. The only thing I was told was to make sure the person doing the work gives a crap, if the paintwork underneath isn't 100% clean when this stuff goes over the top it will seal in the crud. Luckily the guys that have done mine, love their work and are extremely passionate about it@2wheelsagain wrote:@Ghostbandit wrote:Applied as whole of bike, I would hate to think how much it would be if it was to fully disassemble@2wheelsagain wrote:Looks great.

Any special follow-up required, or just normal wash and polish?

Nope once applied, try and give it a solid 30 days to fully harden and cure, then when you need to wash just use a ph neutral wash, was recommended to use the meghuires soft wash, and I will just use my microfibre cloths like I used to.@Ewok1958 wrote:Any special follow-up required, or just normal wash and polish?
