And done!

 

That's cool man. You're going to end up with a totally blacked out bike now.

 

Tried the wrinkle black on the peg brackets. Came out awesome!

 

I've used eastwoods stuff on both of my bikes. Did the hway pegs, horn cover, battery box trim and headlight trim the other night. Plan on doing my signals and what not as well. I can't stand too much chrome. A few bits to break up the black for me. Damn near powder of rocker covers myself before I decided I better send those out to the powder pros.

I have a craftsman gun that was 30 bucks and needs no air compressor. Perfectly fine for smaller parts but it doesn't spray enough for good coverage on large parts. I'm also just doing the ol' scotch brite method. I would love a blast cabinet.

The Eastwood stuff is good though. Especially on small stuff where heat isn't an issue. I worry about coating high temp parts on my own.

The Eastwood silicone plug and cap kit is crucial...



Used Black chrome on the jiffy and headlight ring

 

You're getting better.

 

That's nice work! So I take it yall like eastwood guns? I was thinking about getting a set up and trying it. My advantage is I already have 2 27cuft 3x3x3id commercial convection ovens

 

Worth the hundo $$$

 

hey bud if you switch your media, form bead to alum oxide you will get a much smooother finish and eliminate some of that orange peel you see on your gloss parts, works good!

 

Actually I took your advice from the get-go. I drained the beads and I'm using aluminum oxide from harbor freight. I think the gloss went on a little thick- I'll try a thinner coat to reduce the peel next time.
