Re: Custom batman bike
You're Welcome...
Actually depending on what kind of paint you used. Next time you could buy a low cost powder coating setup. There are clear powder coats that back at 400F and are quite impressive in strength and luster. |

Re: Custom batman bike
I am not a painter by any means, but Porshe has a new color scheme that incorporates, flat black stripes on a gloss black finish. And I know that they clear the flat. All you have to do is come up with a multi million dollar paint room, and I am sure that it is really easy!!!!! But then again, who would be painting a bike at that point????

Re: Custom batman bike
If they do it like any of the professional painters; the black is actually all gloss. They simply mask off for the clear coating.
Besides, some of the best paint I have seen came from some guys garage that is sealed in plastic, using a $150 gun and PPG paint. A friend of mine can take a can of krylon and have it match or exceed OEM paint. All it takes is practice and a bit of patience. |

Re: Custom batman bike
I have done some custom paint jobs out of my garage. So far I have painted 4 Harley's, I don't have any pics on this computer but Maybe i'll transfer some a post'em up. I could have done a lot more to this bike but it's for a 4yr old who is gonna throw it in the dirt most of the time! So no need to get too crazy
 thanks |

Re: Custom batman bike
most good paint suppliers carry a flattening agent you add it to the clear or colour to get a flat apperence.
Flattening Agent if you like custom bikes go check out FreakBike Nation • Index page

Re: Custom batman bike
I knew there was a flattening agent for mixing your own paint, but was unsure if they had it in a spray can. I'll try to post some pics of the bikes I've painted tonight. Thanks
