Featured Speedmaster Sprocket Cover

Think this is what you mean

Weather balloon escaping on a windy day

 

Image 1 is what I've done
Take another look mate and this time turn your hearing aids on
Image 2 will look like an escaping weather balloon when I'm pulling a Max Biaggi wheelie

 

OH...PANT-R-Y
I'm getting bashed from my wife for trying to look in her knickers

 

DAMN/BUGGER/BLAST
Got to work this morning and got the sprocket cover out
Looking really good
Until I started handling it
The paint I applied is flaking off on all the parts that I filed and sanded
Didn't use a primer and don't know if it needed an acid etch or something
Gonna take it to a paint shop around the corner and get him to do it....have used him before and know he does a good job
My new tyres keep getting pushed back down the list..,,bloody bike

 

How much do you think something this size would cost?

 

Yeah I'm pretty good at puppy dog eyes and the pet lip pouting thing
I'll give it a go

 

On bare metal you'll need to acid etch it first, even just priming would have been better than nowt, but acid etch stuff is the way to go, especially with aluminium. Used it on the MG when I repainted the front crossmember, and when we resprayed the car, if we had gone through to metal, etched it first before putting on primer.

U-POL is good stuff, but it ain't cheap for a one off job. I usually keep a stock in of primer and satin blacks etc.


@Dozers Dad - as there is no heat joining and only hand tools, and in light of the poor finish - C+ is the best he's getting !!!!

 

Was gonna give you a thanks until I seen the last bit
Glad you're not my teacher

 

Hey....you got nowt better to do??
