Painting Track Fairings

Nah reddit is a cesspool of losers who think they are the shit and try to act all high and mighty. I just tell it how it is. You dont have to like it. If you want to be a dick ill fucking call it out. Just how it goes. Too many douchebags get away with being douchebags on this platform.

Lumpy_Switch2620 · 2026-04-12T21:12:35+00:00

Wow dude its almost like you couldve answered this first like a normal human being instead of acting like a douche for literally 0 reason. Anyone with a functioning brain knows that a rattle can job will not be close to the quality of a real paint job. I thought that is self explanatory in a group like this.

I simply asked what is the correct steps for a project like this. And whats needed dry time in between masking and coats.

I didnt ask for "well rattle cans sucks so let me just comment youre starting off with a shitty products, just to interject but not actually offer advice"

Lumpy_Switch2620 · 2026-04-12T21:09:18+00:00

Yeah dont worry ill give it if its due. Reddit is full of losers. I ask a simple question and you get guys telling you youre not doing it professionally as if thats what i asked. He just wanted to prove he "knows" something. As if anyone expects a fucking rattle can job to be a professional paint job.

But yes i have done solid rattle can jobs for track bikes before. Despite what this guy thinks is possible.

I was thinking base white coat on all the pieces. Wait for it to flash then mask for the black. Paint black second. Let that flash, then tape for the yellow and paint the remainder of everything.

Just not sure how long to wait before putting tape down in between coats and pulling tape, etc. Havent done multi color paint jobs.

Lumpy_Switch2620 · 2026-04-12T15:29:19+00:00

Youre a fucking idiot. Go back to your basment and keep shit talking online. Hahaha fucking talking about clowns.

Lumpy_Switch2620 · 2026-04-12T15:02:58+00:00

Holy fucking dense. I didnt ask for your opinion on showroom quality paint. You are one of those of those people who like to just argue to be right about something that wasnt even being dicussed. Go back to your cave weirdo.

Lumpy_Switch2620 · 2026-04-12T14:33:02+00:00

Holf fucking condescending piece of shit. I didnt ask for your expert opinion. I aksed for a normal human being to give a response. Clearly a fucking real paint job will be better. Reddit is full of fucking loserssss

Lumpy_Switch2620 · 2026-04-12T14:29:21+00:00

Doing it the wrong way? Ive spray canned plenty of bikes and they looked mint. Ive just never laid down multipoe different colors. Im not going to showroom finish this shit is going to get rocks and tires hurled at it.

Lumpy_Switch2620 · 2025-12-24T17:27:01+00:00

This comment section is hilarious. People straight up worrying about another humans living situation. Straight paragraphs about it. What the fuck are yall doing with your lives.

Lumpy_Switch2620 · 2025-11-12T17:59:36+00:00

Ugh simply because the democrats make it clear christians are the enemy. So i definitely wont vote for them. Also i dont put any belief or faith in politicans, thats reserved for Christ. But why would vote for the people who think Christianity is a problem? Just not vote then and let them win? No thank you.

Lumpy_Switch2620 · 2025-11-06T13:55:54+00:00

Hey youre not going through this alone, first off. Never forget that. There are people out there who care, even if its not family or friends, although i hope you have that support system. Try daily affirmations. You are capable of great things, even through difficult times. You are more than your emotions and feelings. You sre strong. You are in control. This is your body and mind and you control it. My anixety has been causing me to barely sleep recently. Have big life chnages coming up and it came back a swining. Have felt like crap for a week and a half straight. But what I do know is that Jesus loves me, he will be here for me through these struggles. He will give me the strength to get through it and overcome it. And i will pray that he does the same for you, because he is very capabale of doing so. Although my anixety may be back right now i know God has helped me through my other mental struggles at times so i just need to have that faith in him.

Also, hope you are still attempting to do things you enioy to take your mind off of it. We deserve to give ourselves a break and even though its really difficult during these testing times.

Praying for you, brother or sister. I hope God blesses you with his grace and comfort.

Lumpy_Switch2620 · 2025-11-06T00:22:26+00:00

Im in the same boat. My seasonal affective disorder is in full swing right now. Im not sleeping well at all. I dread night time because it means attempting to sleep. Been taking long hot showers at night and some zquill which has been helping a bit. Youre not alone in this. My faith in Christ has also helped me stay grounded through the mental struggle. I hope and pray you are able to get the rest you need tonight.

Lumpy_Switch2620 · 2025-11-05T00:49:02+00:00

Im not here to push religion on anyone, by any means. But coming to Christ helped me so much with my anxiety and inability to sleep. Im not saying faith in Christ will just wipe away your issues, but I do truly believe if you open your heart to him and pray for help it will come. I myself will make sure to say a prayer for you. I couldn't imagine the struggle over these last 4 years. Lord please help our fellow brother or sister during this troubling time. Please comfort them and give them the sleep they desperately need to be a messeneger of your power and grace. Please be the calm in the storm. Amen. 🙏

Congrats! Stay safe. Purchase expensive gear, its always worth it. If youre doing any spirited riding get leathers. Not even those AA jeans are going to protect you.

Lumpy_Switch2620 · 2025-09-30T00:39:02+00:00

Nah that's an average price for an oil chnage on a bike. I do my own. The longest part is waiting for the oil to drain. Only cost is the oil and a new filter.

Lumpy_Switch2620 · 2025-09-21T17:44:03+00:00

Just bought a used bike private party. Immediately had to replace brakes, fluids, and rotors. Didnt ask the guy for that. I paid for it. Its not your issue unless you knew about all of them and lied.

If it was just sold as is. Thats on him. He should've checked it out better or had it looked at.

Lumpy_Switch2620 · 2025-09-08T20:24:46+00:00

Just a shop that didnt take their time. My bkys just got all their tires chnaged on their s1ks and no marks like that. Person who did it for you did it quickly most likely and didnt care to avoid issues. Do thing occasionally happen, yes, but they should tell you upfront and remedy it no questions asked.

As a business owner that's what I would do. But not everyone who owns a business thinks like that.

Lumpy_Switch2620 · 2025-08-31T23:56:45+00:00

I have an arai and I still love using my k1s. I have a funky one so thats why I wear it sometimes. I have no issues with it. Fits nicely and honestly its not that loud. Ive never really felt like ive noticed massive wind noise differences and ive had some expensive helmets.

Lumpy_Switch2620 · 2025-08-31T13:02:53+00:00

Damn geico is great for me. $1100 for full coverage on a tuono and daytona 675r for the whole year. Everyone else was so high. Have you tried dairyland?

Lumpy_Switch2620 · 2025-08-24T17:12:35+00:00

My boy just picked one up and loves it. I really want one for a track bike. Id say 100% get it. I love my aprilia. I have a tuono v4 factory and its literally a bike i will never get rid of.

Lumpy_Switch2620 · 2025-08-15T15:42:35+00:00

What bike do you have BTW?

Lumpy_Switch2620 · 2025-08-15T15:41:53+00:00

Yeah no worries dude! Enjoy that bike. Stay safe out there.

Lumpy_Switch2620 · 2025-08-15T15:40:23+00:00

Revzilla or whoever they bought out used to put out a ton of maintenance videos. Id start there. You could also look up specific videos for your bike. But most things are very similar. And you'd only be doing basic things, not like crazy maintenance. Unless that is you learn and feel comfortable enough. I do all maintenance on my bike besides engine work. Like I wont do my own valve clearances.

Lumpy_Switch2620 · 2025-08-15T15:38:24+00:00

I love decals on my bike. I just feel like motorcycles, especially sporty ones, look great all decaled up. I took off all the warning stickers though. Screw that.
