cFLOW Full Member Offline life is great Posts: 191 Bootheel MO Gender:	Finally painted my bike 11/26/07 at 14:18:54 NOT I thought of all my possibilities but came up with nothing. So bare sheetmetal covered with WD-40 to resist Rust is what it will be . But its finished, officially.

A friend of mine did a similar treatment on an old Sportster ... put subtle "swirls" in the bare sheet metal with a rotary wheel of some sort and covered with several coats of clear ... looks awesome (as does your Bike!) 8) Have any more pics to post?

skrapiron -FSO Serious Thumper Offline Instant Human.... Just add coffee.. Posts: 1456 Pittsburgh, Pa Gender:	Re: Finally painted my bike Reply #11 - 11/29/07 at 04:48:08 Not really. Wipe it down with denatured alcohol and a clean rag. That will take off all the oil and leave a clean surface to paint. As for a clear coat? I'd look at a satin finish polyurethane. That will retain the look of the bare metal without adding any unnatural shine. I think that looks sweet.

As far as paint...just paint no primer allows only mechanical, not chemical, adhesion. I'd recommend clear primer (uberexpensive...1oo bones for a 1/2 pint?) But it would be good to put that under that satin clear max talked about.
