Author Message   Dbird29 Posted on Monday, September 06, 2004 - 11:27 am:        Ordered some factory frame pucks and aerosol frame paint at the local Buell dealer. Do you think the paint will stick to the plastic? Haven't seen any in person so I have no idea.

The material of the frame puck outer is very pourus. Some others have painted them as well.   Dbird29 Posted on Monday, September 06, 2004 - 03:25 pm:        Cool! I will report how it works. Come on parts.   Jard Posted on Monday, September 06, 2004 - 05:44 pm:        here is a picture of someone who painted them the same color as the frame.. you can barly see them though....   Darthane Posted on Monday, September 06, 2004 - 05:49 pm:        Jard, that's a different type of puck. ...but the Buell ones will take paint no problem.   Jard Posted on Monday, September 06, 2004 - 06:01 pm:        oh, ok... I just found that off the net and thought it might be good for this topic..   Coldwthrrider Posted on Monday, September 06, 2004 - 06:30 pm:        Yes paint will stick, someone painted theirs yellow to match an XB9S. I tried it with mine and it's been good so far (2 weeks). Originally I planned on painting them white to match the bodywork of the 9R but the whites didn't match. I then painted a second coat over that with the Buell frame paint and it matches well. From a distance you can't even tell there are pucks on there. Painted Pucks Some crap paint I got a Home Depot for plastic   Gentleman_jon Posted on Monday, September 06, 2004 - 06:44 pm:        I was the guy who painted his yellow, and it worked fine. I used Krylon Safety yellow, and it matched the yellow plastic very nicely. Paint them before mounting of course. I posted photos of them, but can't locate them using the search engine on this site.   Coldwthrrider Posted on Monday, September 06, 2004 - 07:09 pm:        http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/32777/67011.html Yes, paint them first!   Dbird29 Posted on Monday, September 06, 2004 - 10:11 pm:        Coldwthrrider, Exactly what I want to do. This board is great for finding answers. The painted pucks look stock which is what Buell should make standard equipment anyway. BTW, I was in the Twin Cities in July went by ST.Paul H D and tried to find a Buell tshirt. They didn't have any Buell apperal. Did they ever? Thanks, DBird   Coldwthrrider Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - 12:10 am:        Yeah, this is the place for all the answers. I would not have bought a Buell if I hadn't found answers to my questions here. SPHD is kinda weak on Buell stuff. They have some bikes, and a few guys who work there are hard core Buell riders. I've never seen any Buell apparel there, but I've heard off and on they've had a few shirts.   Reepicheep Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - 11:05 am:        Where are the clear "jelly" sliders for the CityX?
