Hey, well as i fell off my ped not so long ago and cracked/grazed most of my panels i decided to re-do them up so they're looking how they was Just in the progress of sanding them down.. iv been sanding since 9 this morning till about 7 and I'm very very tired xD should be getting them sprayed tomorrow well.. the primer and if i have enough time perhaps a couple layers of the spray. This took couple hours doing still need a tiny bit doing to it Lucky enough i didn't F**K up the engine when i crashed still in A.OK condition I will post more picture tomorrow of how its gone on Thanks for looking.
looking good m8 , btw your numberplate is on your taxdisk prob not best to show that , at least you didnt have to hand sand it lol,, got any advice as i want to redo mine soon ,, also have you got any pitting or does it look all good??
Thanks oh thanks, i did not even notice that! :O. Well i went on the guide first on scootershack to show me the basics just to make sure, i was going to send my panels off to get re-done but they said they would charge me £80 to plastic weld the panels, sand and spray.. the panels need a lot doing but just thought why when i wouldn't mind a summer project.. It hard job :/ taking a while now.. but i am going to nail down on it tomorrow, get the primer on. Hopefully some of the paint . It had a lot of dents in the work but i put body filler in and that has cleaned it up, nice n smooth. 100% use an electric sander, i bought one for £20.. not bad makes it a lot easier. I started off with p80 then p120 and then p220 now and then 430 or something like that. Just start off low grade.. thanks for having a look mate.
Nrg respray Hey here is a pic of my scooter before i crashed .. Now I've just started respraying today, going to do it the blue but instead of metalic its Pearlescent also its a bit darker.. here are some pics of it now, still need more coating and lacquering thanks for viewing .
looks good.. could do wiht a 2000 wet sand befor you use a cutting compound (like a g3, its a grade 3000 polish basicly and even qa cheapo halfords one works) wax is to keep it shiny once its shiny.. fuck all use really./ i use murr if i can be botherd. this was no clear atall on metalic.... shows what wet sanding can do... looks real good tho. glad to see somones taken some time money and effort to keep an nrg on the road lookin lush. getting REAL rare now
Oh wow! that looks sweet, you do that? so shall i get a grade 3000 wet sand and then after that wax it? I know yeah i don't think I've ever seen an mc3 liquid cooled, they're all air cooled ones. Thinking of getting a typhoon 125, LOVE them :L
no problem mate im glad to read peoples threads , thinking of spraying mine soon, u should paint the insides (floor pannel ect) white or the same color , i would recoment plastic primer tho and lots of coats for the most used areas
Me to, i wanted to but will i have to do any sanding or anything?, i was thinking doing them green or black not too sure.
Nice one mate thats a real good spray job there I had a nrg myself Id remove all the stickers tbh and recover your seat in black, and get a mudgard then clean up your inners real good and a side stand would look mint mate
So fun , Yeah i really do need to get a rear mudguard but i don't think it will fit as my carb is a lil big :L
