paint

Hello everyone, I was looking into getting some rims, spokes, and nipples powder coated and my local shop told me they would not recommend powder coating the nipples because they may chip when torqued up. Can anyone give advice? thanks

I want a honda logo on my gas tank. Should I go the paint or decal route? This is the look I am trying to achieve. /Users/claytonsherwood/Desktop/6b1b2078d80c228cc74554101c269a46.jpg

I am tearing down my new 79 CB750, going for a cafe style rebuild. I would like to powder coat the entire engine (I have a buddy with shop who will give me a deal) Will I have any issues powder coating the cyls? Someone told me they may warp when curing the powder? (400 deg oven) Thanks, Chris

1) Any suggestions on how to achieve this finish? Would you describe it as Satin? Or Flat? I think its one of the nicest pant jobs I've seen. 2) Suggestions on how to achieve this on the cheap? Any help is appreciated :)

I have a couple of extra side covers that I am going to restore. I have checked all my links and can't find a color code or best match for the grey they are painted. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jeff

So I bought this 75 CB750 online, not having actually seen it in person. Finally got it home to my garage last night. I knew it had been repainted, but in the photos I saw it looked accurate. In person, I can't remember ever seeing a candy Honda color with such large sparkly metal flake...

So, I've stripped the frame and cleaned off 36 years of grime and rust. I cannot afford powder coating so I have to rattle can everything. I'm looking for suggestions regarding the brand name and type of spray paint I should use for the frame and parts. My budget is very small so I have to...

I have a '78 Super Sport. A gas leak took some of the black paint off the left side engine covers. Honda dealer says he has some rattle can satin engine paint. I am OK with that but just thought I would ask the forum for details on the best method for painting or other ideas. Thanks.

My tank has several spots (dime and quarter size) where it looks like the clear coat has bubbled and/or turned milky. The paint underneath appears to be in good shape and thankfully none are over the decals. Can that be wet sanded and then sprayed with a new clear coat? Any tips on how to do...

Some quick questions? dont kill the noob...pls I want to put a inverted fork on my ( what i think is a 76) need some info what size triple and what types fit our bikes preferably one with a dual disk. was thinking about bore kit? opinions? last has anybody seen the hydrodipping this is what...

any ideas on the yellow paint used on the 75 750 super sport?

I recently bought a 1983 honda cb750sc nighthawk that needs a new fuel tank. I'm having a lot of trouble finding one for an 83. Are there any other years or models that have a compatible fuel tank I could get or do I have to buy an 83?

Looking for a paint source for the original color for my '76 K6 which is Antares Red and seems to be a one year only color. Is it a Candy color? Which vendors have the group used with success?

I have a 1983 cb750sc Nighthawk that I am looking for some parts for. The tank and cowl were stolen (as well as the car they were in but that's a different story) and I would like to get the bike back on the road. I would also like to get some side covers for it. My question is, will parts from...

hey Ive run into some trouble while trying to hook up my fuel lines. Hopefully this question hasn't been addressed before but I couldn't seem to find it. My tank's (which ive concluded must be from a 1976) petcock is on the left side and is made for one hose to plug in. The problem is my K2...

I choose to build a bike that I bought looking like a bag of smashed a$$holes. Taking the time to learn about how to fix something simple or complex, knowing that the bike was built up to look the way I want it to look like not someone else's vision. A pride and passion not a lot of people...

Hey everyone the exhaust on the bike is kinda rough who has experience with rattle can paint and what was the results and which brand did you use. I know wrap is a quick cover up but it also how's moisture which will create a hidden possible problem correct?

OK I got to talking in another thread about what I should do with my bike. Since I didn't start the other thread I figure I'd start one and see what you guys have to say. What would you do? First let me start by saying this will be the first time I've ever worked on a bike. I'm not a mechanic. I...

Ok all Bretheran Enthusiasts, One and all are welcome here and I want to get some feedback from do it yourselfers to the professed professional body/paint mechanic out there. I'm trying to establish a sub category if you will that encompasses the painting refinishing of your bikes. Do you do it...

I just about have my CB all ready to roll, seems like the bike will almost magically start when my finger gets about an inch from the starter button, it starts that well (that ultrasonic carb cleaning I did helped immensely I'll bet). All I really have left is to adjust the chain oiler and...

What's the best way to clean the head gasket / engine? Mine is quite built up with crud on the top. I'm attaching some pic's hope they come out ok?

I'm at the point with my bike that if I'm gonna paint the engine, now is the time. I was wondering if anyone else had done it, how it held up and what brand of paint worked well. I have the side and head covers polished, so I'm either going to leave them alone or clear powder coat. The rest...
