Matte Blue to Gloss Blue


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

Just wondering what people think of what i have done to the bike, i bought it brand new last year in Matte blue, tried my hardest to keep it clean for as long as possible, but for those who know you cannot use polish on matte paint, does some horrible things.

Anyway i took the dive and stripped the bike down and had it sprayed with lacquer. 

I hope you enjoy.

Seems like you painted the bike to match your helmet.  (Probably alot more people just get a new lid).

Looks good!

Oh I forgot to mention the lid was matte as well I sprayed that as well haha

Very nice! I'm not a big fan of matte myself. The matte grey on mine is ok. But your gloss transformation is beautiful! Well done!

Thank you, the matte is horrible to keep clean and looking nice, if I could've gotten it in a different colour I would've done, but now that it is nice and shiny I don't regret it, and it only took three days for the full process
