Tank painted/shields powder coated

[Brewcrew02]

Thought I'd post some pics of the new paint job and the powder coating I did in my garage today. Feedback appreciated and you won't hurt my feelings if it's negative!

zombie blood all over the tank. I like it. Not for me though.

So. Im not crazy bout the honda thing but that splash red is SWEET!

That is Awsome if you don't mind me asking how much did the powder coat cost for all that

[Brewcrew02]

The tank is just sprayed flat black and clear coated with a matte clear. Only powdered the shields, headlight brackets, and small side covers. Tank wouldn't be expensive to coat if I had a big enough oven. $5 for more than enough powder and $25 for the gun/system.

Figured I'd match my helmet... don't often see people match the bike to the helmet, always the opposite!

I like the Honda Spelled out! My taste would have been same color but I would have made the H O N D A in red.

On a somewhat unrelated note. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get a dent like that out of a tank? I've seen some tricks for smaller dings, but nothing to that magnitude.

Usually they will screw a few self tappers into it (or special body work rivets) and use a puller to pull out as much as possible. Weld up holes and apply filler ............

Paint then hides everything.

Thought about that but I wanted the contrast of "original" paint/finish and the aftermath of dent and blood. A little post-apocalyptic/Mad Max homage. I figured I'd try something I always wanted to, and have some fun since I have a spare tank for a pro job later. Not satisfied with the matte finish (not thick enough) so I'm gonna do a thick clear and 0000 steel wool a satin/matte finish into it.

[BLACKOUT919]

Trade secret... Tell you and kill babies and all... zombie babies!

Splatter effect achieved using a meat injector sans needle tip. Basically a large syringe w/o the tip. Sprayed the red into a baggie and then poured the contents into a plastic container. Draw some in with a little extra air, aim... FIRE! Amazing results. Do a couple practice shots for sure.
