Had to take a break from the project due to a move out of state. The paint is holding up well and stuck. However, I put an update out on the Navi Gang FB group. The mix was bad in the cans and caused a ton of hard peaks in the paint. Dupli-color actually responded and agreed. They covered the cost and plan to put part 2 out soon where I go over the issue and fix.
@SCMOTO if you find out kindly let us know as each kind behaves diff with different paints and I'm wanting to paint mine so badly but won't until I know it's composition :)
@@user-vr3lx2pg7z The self etching primer I used in the video had no ill effect. I plan to some day do part 2. The paint I used was mixed from the factory with far too much hardener in it and caused some issues. I did get in touch with the manufacturer and they agreed and paid for paint and new panels. I have been side tracked by life though and have not finished the paint job.

Nice, looking forward to seeing the finished product!
Very soon!
Looks awesome so far
Thanks bud
Can't wait to see the final product
Gonna take some time but I am excited. I went out and checked the paint after a few hours dry time and the color is awesome.
Did you drill out the plugs on the ends of the bars for the mirrors?
I'll be taking on my painting project on the spring. Could always use some tips. Good stuff. 👍
Appreciate it. Part 2 soon
is that a special kind of heat gun to get the decals off ? The parts are plastic after all
Subbed for the puppy!
The puppy tanks you lol
I tried getting the decals off with a hair dryer but only the top clear layer came off
2 months later, how is it holding up?

Did you do anything special for the carbon-fiber-type texture in the middle?
Sorry for late reply. No just a light sand over and cleaning. I wanted the texture to show through
What material is the navi plastic parts made of abs or ppe or some other polymer?
It appears to be nylon reinforced but not sure if PPE, ABS or other.
@@SCMOTO love it. Thank you for the reply appreciate it!
