    It looks even better in person! I really like the gloss/satin black look.

    I really like the mix of satin and gloss black. I'll be doing the same scheme on my Wing this summer.

    Nice work. Looks great!

    Default thanks

    this stuff is pretty durable. i washed off all the bugs from last weeks rides, with a wet rag, trying not to rub real hard. it did fine, no damage at all. still looks great.

    Looks Great!

    I'm curious; How many coats did you end up putting on? I've done some of the pieces on my RT and used 4 coats. While the 4 coats were smooth on some parts, it was a bit rough on others. I'm thinking I'm going to add more coats which should make it smoother. Also, did you apply very light coats, or heavier coats?

    Default dip coating

    most of the parts got three coats- two light, one medium to heavy. i put four or five on the trunklid cause it came out kind of streaky after three. maybe because it's a large area. i figure the extra protection wouldn't hurt.

    Extra coats should even be better; and if you don't like it or get tired of it, it's a two minute removal.
