DeepSix Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 betony- Thanks, I just wanted a little bit of extra detail. Wordsmith- Your Panniers should be a reasonably easy job. I would just use the adhesion promoter/primer to make sure you didn't get any lift. Another trick is to start with a piece of vinyl that is much larger than necessary. This helps you be able to stretch the materials and move imperfections off of the part if that makes sense. My panniers have a small compound angle and stretch and they came out nearly perfect. The REALLY hard ones are the pieces around the tank. On a side note, I ordered a custom color matched rattle can of paint one time and it worked perfectly. It never seems to have the "depth" of factory but maybe if you clear coated it a few times and wet sanded and buffed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepSix Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I've never been able to get good results with a spray can but I'm also not a talented painter. Maybe I just need some practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoti Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Im thinking of doing my side panels ,. My bike is matt black and doing the four panels will enhance its appearance and make it more visible . It wont be expensive or hard to do . The cost of Tracer 900 decals might be costly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoti - I like the Red with white trim portion of that graphics kit but hate the Monster Energy logo and not fond of the graphic on the panel below the seat. The white wheel stripes really set it off, the whole kit really transforms the black bike. 😎 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member betoney Posted January 23, 2021 Supporting Member Share Posted January 23, 2021 On the subject of vinyl graphics, I bought a 4"x8" sample to check for color match and needed to do something with it so I added small accents to the front fender. 1 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member knyte Posted January 23, 2021 Supporting Member Share Posted January 23, 2021 Nice touch! I see you got the engine scoop too. Interesting choice; I'm tempted myself. 1 2015 FJ-09 / FJR touring bags / oil plug mod / Evotech rad guard / SW Motech bash plate / VStream touring windshield / Seat Concepts: Sport Touring / Vcyclenut ABS rings (speedo correction) / Cosmo RAM mount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some samples off ebay and Im looking at getting some second hand damaged panels to wrap ? Two Pack painting is also expensive ,even though Im a qualified auto/aircraft refinisher (spraypainter),paints dear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
