clear

I am a fan of Rustoleum. My question is there seems to be two types of primer. Etching and the other. 1) Does it matter which to use on a bead blasted frame? I have seen paint wrinkle up when clearcoat is applied. 2) was the paint just not dry or was there a "reaction"

Looking for the clear plastic cover for a Tecumseh fuel gage gas cap...thanks in advance, Richie

hey OldMiniBikes , how long do you allow paint to cure before clear coating :shrug: and what kind of clear coat are you using for best results. i primed waited two days laid on color waited twenty four hours did second coat of color now has been three days is it safe to clear yet what do you think

I picked up this old Trail Horse. All original. She had lots of rust. Cleaned her up as good as I could. Some spots, the rust ate through the paint. My question?? I have cleaned it more since this photo. But, you get the idea. Is it a disservice to clear it to maintain what is left or just...

We have had this minibike in the family for around a decade or more, and it has been in storage inside a shed or garage for the majority of that time. Since we’ve had it, we have occasionally started it up and drove it around a little at our family cabin, and my dad has taken it with him on RV...

I tried Duplicolor clear wheel paint, but it leaves a thick, glossy finish. I just want to seal and preserve the finish, not add to it. :scooter:

I was thinking it would be pretty cool if someone made a see through heavy duty fan shroud for the honda in clone engines. that way you could actually see the flywheel the forked out 100 or more dollars for. I am agean someone else is already thought of this but I can't seem to find it anywhere...

I'm almost done with my clear coat and I need some advice. 1'st I have some runs I need to get out. I'm open to suggestions for that. 2'nd I need to no how to wetsand the entire bike and buff it to really make it shine. Let me know what you guy's think! Thanks!

View image in gallery Is anyone familiar with this clear? I bought it at Lowes. None of the auto parts stores around me had a flat or satin clear. Lowes had a Valspar indoor/outdoor or this. They told me this would be stronger than the Valspar but I have never seen it before. Has anyone...

So tonight I'm spraying the clear on my bike and I got a little excited put a run in it. How do I get it out? Also, does acrylic enamel protect the paint from rubbing off due to throttle cables rubbing when you turn the handle bars?

Put three coats of spray paint on sanded frame. Looks very good. Should I hit it with some clear to make it really glossy and protect the paint. Any tips? Ps Rust oleum Chrysler Red is a direct match. 2 cans gave me great coverage over the sanded frame.

i will take the parts and un needed junk for my next build anything helps jake roth

The title says it all

ok, someone used the expression, "itll run better if you clear its throat and uncork its ass" and i like that, and thats what i want to do, so i have a straight pipe on my HS40, but i have the stock paper filter in the metal housing, are there any kits that mount up to the front of the carb...

Ruttman Wheels After Bead Blast and Clear Coat

When I was in high school if you wanted to take auto shop, first you had to take a small engine class to learn the fundamentals. We had about 20 motors (I can't remember if they were Briggs or Tecumseh) that we had to tear down, then reassemble and get running again. The coolest part of the...
