'Patent Pending' Molecular Color Adhesion Process for F3 Frame Caps

Alright maybe not 'patent pending' but you did click..... ;)

I had to take a trip to Lowes yesterday so I picked up some loctite and spray paint. I scuffed up the caps with some steel wool, hit em with some water, then the air compressor, then a microfiber cloth and then the spray paint. I let em dry overnight and the end result is:

I guess you could pay $129 for the chrome ones from BRP or $160 for the IPS caps. I chose to spend under $13 and I dig the results.

:clap: They look VERY nice... :congrats:

:2thumbs::2thumbs: Nice--and did not cost the proverbial arm and a leg. :yes:

Looks good. Could have tried PlastiDip. I did some PlastiDip work on my street glide and loved it.

I used PlastiDip on my 2011 Street Glide. I did the chrome tank dash,saddle bags and the breather cover. It's holding up great. Just takes patience to get it right. You have to do a minimum of 5 coats. I've power washed it and everything. Still looks perfect.

Patience is the key. Rustolium makes a similar spray that I have had good success with. The first time I used it I puddled it, but wiped the excess with my finger and kept adding coats. Came out smooth.

Those bags look great xBobbyx.

Looks great. What paint did you use. I stopped using plastic dip didn't seem to hold up the the Sun and you being from Vegas you get plenty of Sun and Heat.

Thanks! I used Valspar Black High Gloss Spray Paint which can be picked up at Lowes. Item #113549.

Good job, looks much better!
VHT Epoxy has worked well for me.

Thanks. The bags turned out better than I expected. The spray paint does look good. It's little things like that,that I think BRP should think about. They should come black already. Just my opinion.
