Author Message   Huebman Posted on Friday, February 25, 2011 - 10:27 am:        I am looking for helpful info on painting my M2. My bike is awesome, and I absolutely love the way it rides and runs. However, the previous owner tried doing some pretty stupid stuff as far as cosmetics go. I would really like to give my bike a face lift with some paint, especially the tank. I was just curious what you guys have done, or where you have gone to get a good looking paint job on your bike. Can you paint the plastics? Has anyone had good luck with that? Thanks!   Sleez Posted on Friday, February 25, 2011 - 10:50 am:        pm on its way   Sleez Posted on Friday, February 25, 2011 - 10:54 am:        after i get your email, i'll send you some docs   4traxx Posted on Friday, February 25, 2011 - 05:00 pm:        Slee . If you got some hints I could use them . I plan on repainting mine soon .   Devil_car Posted on Friday, February 25, 2011 - 05:15 pm:        Yeah Sleez, if possible share with all of us.   Sleez Posted on Friday, February 25, 2011 - 05:23 pm:        paint doc al_paintinfo.doc (24.6 k) paint pdf BUELLPaint.pdf (16.5 k) thanks to Al for these, if they load???   4traxx Posted on Saturday, February 26, 2011 - 12:17 am:        So it looks like I need to spray white base coat before the molten orange ?   Sleez Posted on Saturday, February 26, 2011 - 12:22 pm:        4traxx; yep, most of the repaints i have seen are a terrible match because they used a standard gray primer.   Devil_car Posted on Sunday, February 27, 2011 - 12:50 am:        Thanks for posting that! That's good information to keep available for the Tuber community!   Truth Posted on Sunday, July 24, 2011 - 12:30 pm:        Hey man, I painted my M2. Used rattle cans and it looks as good as any body shop. Prep is everything. I also used Caswell tank sealer. I talked to them and although they could not guarantee it would work on the Buell nylon, they said it has worked on all the plastics they have tried it on. For $50ish bucks, I figured it was worth a shot. Good luck, keep us posted.

(british racing green) the only thing i did differently for the plastic was add a urithane flexable additive, and have had no problems. its been on over 4 years now. drop the $ on a good HVLP gun and waste allot of paint practicing.   Ft_bstrd Posted on Saturday, August 06, 2011 - 11:42 am:        What is the difference between Demon Blue and Blue Streak?   Jramsey Posted on Saturday, August 06, 2011 - 11:54 am:        Here's Blue Streak.   Ft_bstrd Posted on Saturday, August 06, 2011 - 02:22 pm:        I have a 2000 M2, but it lists both Demon Blue and Streak Blue. I can't tell which it is.   46champ Posted on Sunday, August 07, 2011 - 01:41 am:        Jramsey is that the way your bike came stock with the black engine? It sure looks good.   Jramsey Posted on Sunday, August 07, 2011 - 10:38 am:        46champ,yes its a stock'01, came all Black including the push rod tubes and starter.   Jayvee Posted on Wednesday, August 10, 2011 - 10:52 pm:        Isn't there a 'color code' embedded in the VIN? Well, cars have it I've heard.
