well, I finally painted my front, and rear hubs orange on my DS650 Baja. If anyone wants a picture, give me your e-mail address. I used 2 coats of primer, then about 4 coats of Orange Engine Enamel with Ceramic, then about 4 coats of clear laquer. They sure are shiny!

I just painted my rims and my nerfs Flat Black, I really like how they turned out. I sanded with 60 git sand paper, got it really rough, the I put about 3-4 coats of Flat Black then i put 3-4 coats of matt clear coat.

Let me see you hubs... mxzxracin@aol.com

 

Adam-lets have a looky loo at those hubs....Loadnazi@msn.com

Mxzx-you have some pics of those rims??????

 

Sorry I have no digital camera. If anyone else does this dont use matt clear coat, just use regular auto clear coat! I put 4 coats of matt and it turned it like gray so I sprayed one more coat of black then some regular clear coat and they look great... I am going ridding on Saturday I will tell you how the paint holds up to the rocks!
