Painting Rearsets

Hi all

First post here, iv got a 2014 tri colour blade and what a machine it is. I wan't to spray my rearsets black, as don't want to pay out just yet for after market set would rather get exhaust and quick shifter first. would powder coating be the only way to go? or could i spray them myself?
Here is a pic of her!



thanks in advanced

 

Hey Crow.. welcome along to the forum! great picture and lovely looking bike

 

Welcome the forum mate.. Cracking looking bike.. Powder coating would probbably be way.. You may aswell save your 50 quid or so and put it towards a qs

 

Welcome to the forum, beautiful machine in the best colour scheme

 

Yes your right. i need a qs soon as, had one on my last bike and and miss not having one.

 

Interesting, never seen the 13+ tricolour with a black frame! Looks much better than the silver frames we have in Aus.

 

I painted my rearsets with smooth stonechip for protection then over that a satin black for final colour, added a set of carbon heel gaurds to finish the look.

I masked off the foot pegs ends keeping them alloy silver and just coloured actual bracketry as I didn't want my feet to rub thru the black n spoil the look, this also happens with powdercoated units and to some degree anadised aftermarket units too so best keep that in mind.

 

Welcome to the forum. Nice blade. The tri-colour is the best looking blade, but prefer mine with the silver frame and swingarm

 

Lovely pic, I like the black frame and swing arm reminds me of my 2010 HRC

While your getting the rearsets powdercoated black the wheels would look lush in white (not that they dont look good now )

I was going to say painting would not be as long lasting as powdercoat but Shineysideup has done a great job !

 

Good effort ... like that alot

 

Thanks for the tips, I think i will give it a go over xmas.

 

was talking about this yesterday with my local (PDQ) and the place to go is

Triple 'S' Powder Coating | Prices

maybe not too far from you

 

I've used Triple S a few times... absolutely top work

 

Welcome, very nice pic indeed.

 

Hi and welcome!

 

I saw triple s referred to in my mag this month as doing a good job powder coating their wheels. I think I'll be using them for my wheels now, and also my stock rearsets.

 

If anyone in the East Yorkshire area needs any powder coating, I may be able to help.

 

Hi, welcome. Great photograph.
