How about sanding it with fine grit sand paper 320/400 an then heating it
up an polishing Just wonder how that would work ?
does the plastic become more brittle after using the heat gun on it?
Do u see scratches on the bike after ur done
Your a genius!!!
To prevent whats left of your fender becoming oxidized like it was previous to,
remember to regularly polish it with wax or something surpass like 303’s UV
Protectant.
So I have a million dollar question. What if you own an R6, that is white
but the head fender is early to turn yellow? I like my bike and even
though this method seems to be an outstanding way to do it, I just feel a
small insecure to apply it. Buying the part would cost me $454.58 and not
only that, but this was a limited edition affect so I wouldnt even have it
in white but rather in blue, red, yellow or silver and also if I were to
paint it, then I would have to paint the whole bike to make an even affect.
So Im pretty much screwed. Any suggestions? =(
my cr125 was spray painted by the person who owned it previous to me. I started
scraping and I saw a layer of primer and then a layer of dark paint that
doesn’t look like honda’s factory paint. I’m trying to get the honda
factory red on it
I have heard of people using a similar heating method on acrylic, but I
never would have thought it’d work so well on something like this. It’s
like a groundbreaking new bike!
dear god this worth 30 euros just go and buy a new one
Can you respray plastics such as these? I’ve been told that paint won’t
stick to these types of plastics even if you sand them down and prime them.
This works but not on paint (I reckon spray paint) any tips
buy a $20 fender
Oh sure this works wonders even though u reck ur fucking plastics. Buy new
ones u cheap bastard there to far gone u can’t renovate them. U can just
take the razor and try and sterile ur nuts with it also after place some
rubbing a call on it nestores ur nuts in seconds
Don’t listen to dipshit and just buy new plastics in there not save able
Holy shit, that noise is torture.
any one know how to fix a fender after crashing into a tree XD?
Couldnt you just wet sand this? just asking………but nice to know how to
do it lmfao
A much surpass way of renewing plastic is using a soft cloth to apply and
take out a mixture of 60% paint thinner and 40% boiled linseed oil. You’ll be
amazed at the result.
sick
U can use 60% paint thinner with 40% boiled linseed oil and just wipe on w/
cloth just wear rubber gloves
Yep, that’s the way I do it and when I’m done it looks just like new.
Is that a yamaha dt 250
use 60/40% mix of paint thinner and boiled linseed oil works a lot surpass
and much quicker to do
Hey save time just sand and heat up
If you want to avoid the risk of melting your fender, high grit sandpaper
followed by buffing compound should work too.
Sterile it, prep it, paint it with adhesion promoter, then a clear coat to
protect it from sun hurt again.
