Wheels painted

[crazefox]

Need your wheels painted???
I have just got onto a special paint for painting wheels.
Any colour $200 a set for more info pm me and we can go from there
This paint is good anti chipping paint:cool:

[Fishy]

$200 geez thats pretty expensive. I can get a set of wheels powdercoated for less than half of that.

[upon1]

hpc did mine for $100

[Fishy]

What colour did you get done? did they powdercoat it?

[*sic]

procoat.co.nz for powdercoating / painting

$80 to polish each of my cages rims (the entire rim!) damn dude 200 for motorbike.. to paint them too!?, thats way to expensive.

[bladez]

That is dare you can get them done for $100 powder coated:beer:

[MidnightMike]

Chrome the wheels :2thumbsup

[crazefox]

Thats good to hear im not stopping anyone getting them powdercoated if you read the add its says painting your wheels NOT powdercoating and if you no anything about painting you would no that paint sticks 3 times better than powdercoating hence why your job was cheap.:third:

Fair enough. Do you have matt and gloss paints? What about pearlescent and colour shift?

[crazefox]

Yip i have all the colours under the sun:whocares: :motu:

[Coyote]

Yip i have all the colours under the sun:whocares: :motu:
So would colour shift paints be $200 or do they have a premium?

[crazefox]

yeah they require clearcoat as well but prob be about 250 - 300

[madboy]

Does that include stripping the tyre, or does that need to be factored in as well?

I've gotta see you sometime about painting my bike, but the Oz trip is only a couple weeks away... $$$$$

[crazefox]

yeah mate for you it includes stripping and balancing:sleep:

[imdying]

yeah they require clearcoat as well but prob be about 250 - 300What sort of paint are they using for regular colours that doesn't require a clearcoat? I can understand harlequin style paints being more pricey, but because of clearcoat?

[crazefox]

Any solid colours:shake:

[imdying]

What sort of paint are they using that doesn't require a clear coat? House paint? Fence paint?

[crazefox]

come on mate dont u no anything???????:2guns: :shake: :tugger: :motu: :bash: :stupid: :ar15:

Just wondering... can't think of a durable paint with a decent gloss that doesn't use clearcoat. Clear coat is also dead cheap, so it seems unusual that the solid colour paint job you describe doesn't use clearcoat, and the harlequin is expensive because of clearcoat. If you don't know what the product is, that's fine, just say you don't, and post the contact details of the painter (who obviously would know). That'll give those that are interested an oppurtunity to discuss it with someone who can give straight answers.

Powdercoat is often considered more durable for wear, sticks better, resists stone chips considerably better. Isn't as glossy of course, but on the flip side brake dust removes a heck of a lot easier. For a similar durability, you'd be getting into 2 pack for 'regular' type paint. 2 pack of course requires a clear coat, thus my interest in what sort of paint is being used that is apparently durable, but doesn't require a clear coat...

[crazefox]

:tugger: well im a spraypainter myself and clearcoat IS NOT CHEAP as it is a 2k
Also the solid colours are 2k thats why they are shinny if you know anything about car paint you would understand:thud: :weird: :2guns: :shake:

POR 15 top coats don't require a clear coat and are super chip resistant.
2 pack and only available in 7 colours

[imdying]

Oh my goodness, someone with an informative answer. Glad to see not everyone has sniffed too many paint fumes in their life... Any idea why only 7 colours? Can you mix them to create shades?

/edit: Just had a geeze at their site, this would be the hardnose (http://www.por15.co.nz/por_products/hardnose.htm) paint?

[crazefox]

WHAT EVER MATE YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKIN ABOUT MAYBE YOU SHOULD STOP WASTING MY TIME AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE AND ANOY SOMEONE ELSE:headbang: :brick:

[imdying]

Oh sorry, didn't realise I was on your Internet. Just had a look at your posts though... seems you only come here to peddle your wares. Shouldn't have expected any helpful info from you, and I do apologise for preventing you from effectively using this site to do business :rolleyes:

[crazefox]

THANKS DONT DO IT AGAIN.AND FOR YOUR INFORMATION I ATTEND THE THURSDAY NIGHT RIDES WITH KIWIBIKER BUT THANKS FOR ASKING AND THANKS FOR STAYING OFF MY INTERNET NEXT TIME I WILL HAVE TO CHARGE YOU FOR MY TIME:finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :

[skelstar]

Leave the guy alone. I organised a ride with him through KB and met him weeks before he even posted about painting.

[nudemetalz]

...and I have to say,...Crazefox did an outstanding job on my tank and fairing for the NZ-250 I sold to Dev Esq. I showed it to a painter friend of mine in Christchurch and he also agreed it was a superb job.

[imdying]

That's always good to hear, I saw that he painted the NZ, and it's not the quality of his painting the irked me. Personally, I wouldn't trust my bike to any spray painter that has trouble answering straight forward questions about what sort of paint is being used. Started with a curious question about what sort of paint was being used to him cracking out the cute little smiley faces :rolleyes:

There's always the posibility he was using some crap paint that others could've immediately pointed out as being unsuitable for wheels, thus saving some poor person some grief.

Unsuprisingly, we've still only got 'solid colours' and an overuse of smiley faces to go on. I mean, if he'd said 'YEAH MATE GOT SOME POR15 HARDNOSE ITS REAL GOOD EH', I could have had a squiz myself, curiosity satisfied. But no, he played (I'm assuming) stupid, and still hasn't offered up a type/brand name/anything which could help a potential client make an educated decision.

I can't comment on his work haven't seen it (run into the NZ250 one day I guess), and that wasn't the issue... but I have seen heaps of shitty jobs done on cars and bikes, and in some cases good communication between the painter and client would've prevented them. Whether his potential clients can expect that from him, I'll leave for them to draw their own conclusions.

Yes,it was the Hardnose I was looking at.I have a catalogue.
They do have Colourchrome which is a tough translucent in 8 colours,designed to coat polished metal and chrome.
You could polish you wheels and then tint them with this.
The guys at PPC are real helpful,they can tell you if other colours are available.Ph 080042 82 82
It might be because the paint is isocyanate and cures when exposed to atmospheric moisture.

I can understand your desire to get as much info as poss.I've seen a repaint on a bike that looked fantastic and then chipped like a bastard.

[crazefox]

This is for IMDYING the paint which i use is called Du pont(which someone with a brain like yours has prob not heard of)And its a 2k mix so its very hard.
So i hope you might be able to sleep at night now knowing this if not you know what to do:finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger:

They'd painted is in every colour, mixing it through the spectrum. Not really my cup of tea (not really sure where you'd use it that it wouldn't look naff), but impressive none the less.

[imdying]

[crazefox]

Sorry mate you must be wrong.Me being a spraypainter and all using DUPONT paint every day i believe it is a brand of paint as well as a company name but hey if your a spraypainter too?????????? By the sounds of it you just think you know what your talking about.All the other bikes i have painted have been in DUPONT car paint but hey your the man that knows all:niceone: :moon: :moon: :moon: :moon: :moon: :moon: :moon:

[imdying]

Heh, must be fun trying to sell you product. Next time you're talking to your DuPont rep, tell him you need some 710R to match your brain :lol:
That's ultra fine putty, in case you still think 'DuPont' is 'car paint'

[Coyote]

Enough of those damned smilies :brick: :angry2: :angry2: :mad: :mad: :spudbooge :brick: :angry2: :mega:

Crazefox, if you want to be taken seriously and sell some paint a suggest you stop typing in caps and treating people like dicks. The best approach is to be smart and cool about it

[crazefox]

But he is a DICK:weird: :weird: :2guns: :2guns: :shake: :tugger: :tugger: :shake: :weird:

[crazefox]

HEY IMDYING MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO AND DO WHAT YOUR NAME SAYS AND ?????????????:2guns: :moon: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger:

remember the customers always right....
