I want to rattle can the grey portion of my chin black. Does anyone have any suggestions on preparation or type of paint to use?  | ||

Go to your local parts store and buy a rattle can of truck bed liner. A can is less than five bucks and it's tough as hell. | ||

I sanded mine with 400 grit paper and painted it with rattle can enamel. Has never chipped or pealed......  | ||

I had an extra one off of ebay and I just dyed it. I think it looks just like the one on the cityX and it cant chip off | ||

Line-X it. That will be the last time you will ever have to worry about it for the life of the bike! | ||

I just hit mine with a little scotchbrite and sprayed on cheapo bumper paint. 6000 miles and still lookin good. I taped off the gloss parts and shot two thin coats. Cost me $6. NUTS | ||

I bet the bumper paint works good because it probably has some flex agent mixed in it. Less of a chance to crack that way. | ||

I have some high heat grill paint. That matches almost perfectly with the sprocket cover, and air scoop. I'm thinking about saning it down and trying that. Ejiii - What is line-x? Tq_Freak - Do you need a rivet gun to get it back together after you take it apart? | ||

put it back together w/ some good stainless steel button head bolts. i can tell you the exact size when i get home. have a bag of them. if you can't find any i'll toss some in an envelope for ya and send them your way. wish i knew..your package is being sent by my wife today..i would have tossed some in there for you chin fairing and the points cover..let me know if ya need some. | ||

Is there any houses in your neighborhood for sale? If I move a little closer, you can leave me the key and I can dig through your shed at my leisure.  | ||

 sure are..no need for a key, the door is open, help yourself to anything ya need. the beers in the fridge on the work bench. a couple of my friends come over and use the compressor/tools when i'm not home so no biggie there. always something going on in that shed i tell ya.  |
