Bren Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 I have got hold of a a seat hump for my busa, however it is the wrong colour and needs painting. Would it be safe to use paint stripper to get rid of the old paint? I am wary of damaging the plastic? Opinions please.
philsford Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 You will just create more work using paint stripper. I have seen it done on side panels and it was not a pleasent sight.
hairnet Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 depending on what stripper it is itll bubble the plastic rub and prep or wrap
Barry Cade Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 No point in stripping paint, the best surface to paint on is old paint.
Barry Cade Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Motorcycle PLASTICS???? That's OK if it doesn't get dark, or rain, or you don't want to carry a passenger....
wackywacerwill Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 A friend of mine buggered a side panel for his Guzzi with stripper, don't chance it! Rub,fill if need be then prime and paint is the way.
Junkman Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 That's OK if it doesn't get dark, or rain, or you don't want to carry a passenger.... No, it isn't OK under any circumstances. That's why they invented the motorcar.I once took a folding chair similar to the one pictured on a 5000 mile trip from Belgium all around the Mediterranean and back home, so I should know. Would do it again tomorrow, mind. jonathan_dyane, jbz2079 and Barry Cade 3
fordperv Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 As said don't go near it with paint stripper, get out the wet and dry paper and prep it properly
