ok....i know i should put this in my build off thread but what the hell.....so far on my build i've used over 7 cans of Fast Black.....and i haven't even painted my frame yet.......I love that shit.....i know...you wanna see pics....soon.....

 

[dogbreath]

Laying a can of black on every piece or what?

 

[skr00zloose]

7 cans??? holy sheeit! you must be blacking out EVERYTHING. i've never used more than 3 or 4 cans on a whole bike.

 

[Gunslinger]

I want this shit to be stout.......i just knocked my swing arm off the bench and scratched and dented the crap out of it.......a lil touch up here and a lil touch up there......sweet......thank god it was the under side.......

 

[Gunslinger]

so....when you washed your bike that was painted with Fast Black how did it clean up? did any wash off? or is it good permanent stuff?

 

[skr00zloose]

never had anything come off. you do sometimes get a slight dust the first time you clean it, i think it depends on the weather when it's being painted. sometimes i'd get it, sometimes not. in any case, never had any effect on the finish.

sweet.......i'm painting under heat lamps and heaters so it's marmer than 70 degrees......

oh sheet.....the exhaust paint is Fast Black too.......so I've used over 10 cans of Fast Black.....by the time i'm done....between Epoxy, exhaust, flat case and gloss case paint........i will probaly be using.....sheet....i don't know....around....hmmmmmm......let me see.........i'll get back to you on this one...i may need to order more......sorry....painting for 2 days straight...i'm a lil light headed...

I've been through one can of Krylon satin black and I've only got one piece left to paint.

But my tank paint is fucked up so I'll have to repaint it in the summer or something.

gunslinger didnt even use nuts and bolts to hold his bike together...its all PJ1 paint!

:rock:

 

[Gunslinger]

here's the dill pickles......i have taken my bike COMPLETELY apart....i mean the motor is sitting on the table wrapped in plastic wrap with no covers on it waiting to be painted.......every single part that can be painted is being painted......i've chosen 3 colors....black, black and black......there are no 2 things bolted together......EVERYTHING is apart......now the plan is......i'm going to put it all back together and try not to have extra parts left over......

 

[929_adam]

thats the fun part! best of luck to ya. hope you were organized!

 

[dogbreath]

Wish I had that kinda time man.
Good luck.

Back to PJ-1, I was looking for it this weekend and the only flat black I could find was hi-temp. The bike shop said they couldn't find just plain flat black in their catalog to order either... Anybody found just plain flat black PJ1?

I've only found the hi-temp..either 500 degree or 1500 degree....however......if you are confident with steel wool.....you can use the PJ! Fast Black Epoxy and then brush over it with the super fine steelwool........

 

[DougZ]

Yeah, 7 cans WTF? I am hoping to get my engine and swing arm done with one can. ...at least the engine anyway.

 

[Gunslinger]

i friggin ran out of primer.......so far 3 cans of self etching and 1 can high build......gotta get to the paint store....... exhaust's almost done though......

 

[CRF3]

so, just how important is that "Do not use under 70 degrees" warning on the back??

 

[skr00zloose]

it does work MUCH better when it's warm. i painted the frame for my old xs cafe bike in december, and it took 3 days to fully cure. (and i only used 1 can!)
