Guest Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Hi Guys.I'm going to buy a new bike on Saturday.Half of the cover (which is shown in the picture) is grazed off, so it will need either respraying or a new one put on (not needed, but will make it aesthetically better)This isn't the bike itself, but the same model.Is it like spraying a fairing, or would I have to use different sprays. I've never sprayed anything before so could it be done easily?Cheers Quote
Adam Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Spraying is the easy part it's all about the prep you will need to sand and sand and sand through different grades of paper until it's 100% smooth if you don't it'll just show scratches through the paint. You would need to use engine paint or a high temperature paint for obvious reasons. So yes it can be done but needs time and patience to get a good finish. Alternatively you could get it powder coated. Quote
Stu Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 keep an eye on ebay for a new cover it will probably work out cheaper Quote
Guest Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Cheers for info, I'll look into it.And yes Stu I'll keep my eye out it's a good idea!Cheers Quote
Stu Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 you will probably find the newer bandit might be the same motoror did this replace the bandit Quote
Guest Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Cover it up with some R&G crash protection Yes! yesyesyesyes great idea ThanksEdit: They're not cheap though haha seems cheaper to buy a new one/paint it!Although it does "protect" it. Quote
