I did my car rims and while not a paint, it's extremely easy to apply, is unbelievably durable, easily repairable if scarred and totally reversable, if you get tired of it. It stands up well against gravel, snow, sand and salt, as well. Don't mean to hijack the thread but someone asked and others here are unfamiliar with the product..... Before: After: Found a close-up so you can see the texture...

Car looks awesome. Very aggressive. 8)
I'm not familiar with it, other than the cans we used to dip pliers handles into to get a cushioned surface. Will try it sometime.

Didn't realize it is available in a spray bomb. That may become part of the China Rider's approved coating list!

I'm very curious what the clear looks like; clear gloss, satin, or flat.

Bike looks good. Black gloss krylon is awesome. Did some paint crack on the tip of the front fender. Happened to me when I re painted everything the other day, if so just use soap and water to clean thereafter stripping the paint. And yes gas will eat away at the paint I have a finger print next to my gas cap.

Perhaps the Plasti Dip would be more fuel resistant, and a better choice for painting the gas tank shrouds. :idea:
