NakedViffer Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Those came out real nice from the looks of things, some people underestimate what a rattle-can can do when used properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis(y2kvfr) & Timmy might have room in Trav's truck to bring it up here. I can meet with Trav to pick it up, no one is coming within an hour of my place.

Veefer800Canuck Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 That colour looks awesome with the Sword Silver. If/when the paint starts looking ratty, hopefully you can find powdercoat in the same shade, or close enough to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'll say the brake dust will start working on it first, I have in past used clear coated on automobile wheel that i bought from Wally World thats called Krylon Acrylic Crystal Clear and brake dust has no affect on it at all but your right that is the colour I'm using when I powder coat them. Two reason 1. Its a colour that can be used on ALL VFR(other words resaleable) 2. Common colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wouldn't mind tossing it in a box, I'm sure we can find the space for it. I'll be one of the few with a '00 VFR (that is still yellow).

This not inconvenience for you or any body else is it. I can ship it but i thought if some was here(at TMAC) that live close and they, had room of course, it would be easier but better see if i have room on the VFR first.

If need be, don't worry about the box, I'm sure we can find something local, or just wrap it in an old towel or bubble wrap. If there is not room in the cab, I'll bungee it in the bed between the two bikes. Besides, it'll force Seb to ride to my neck of the woods, I'll have to take him on some of _*my*_ twisties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
