On a good note however, I didn't just bring the FireLizard back to life, I also brought my brother's GL500 back to life.
Yonuh Adisi,
I use to do the same, A rattle can job, plus rattle can clear. The bikes looked great, till the gas.
But, now I'm a convert. I had to repaint my son's '73 Honda SL70 dirtbike. Well,.... I knew he would be spilling gas so over to Harbour Freight I went. They have a 4 oz detailing spray gun for less than $10. The Auto-paint store sold me the pint of single part paint (red) and the special hardener for gas resistance for a total of $18. I did the SL70
PLUS a Rupp Hustler mini-bike with that Pint and still have at least 1/4 left. If you compare the rattle can costs, I'm actually ahead. And.... the detail gun goes so slow that it very hard to get the paint to run.
