Triumph certainly is proud of their branded accessories (here in the US they get $270 for their factory plug-n-play heated grips kit). Also, it's nice to see I'm not the only guy that will occasionally sacrifice a no-name tool (like an Allen wrench) to make one more useful to me.
Hiya Penny and Del, great video. Tough Paint Satin Black ought to be a sponsor. When you find something that works, stick with it! The parts look great in black on the bike... very nice work. Take care, dear friends. Be well, ride safe.
How's the paint holding up? I'm currently thinking of painting a lot of parts on my bike. I'd also like to do the mud guards and the crash bars (sorry, "dresser" bars) and I'm wondering if I should get them powder coated. Those things will get scratched. I think a power coating might be more durable, but regular paint is easier to fix? Would you do it the same way again?
For every person who moans at you for painting things black, there is me, lol. "Is he going to paint it black? Gee that would look much better if it were black. I sure hope he paints it black." lol. You do you, and be happy mate. :)
Great job, so good to see someone doing spray can work properly and well! Really tidied up the look of the bike, a more streamlined and cohesive look. Great stuff! Cheers Steve
Great video Del, the painted parts match well and provide a better look. Here’s an alternative thread sealer suggestion, for those tight areas. The no drip Loctite 248 Blue Threadlocker 19gm Stick.
Hi buddy, I do have a tube of that somewhere, it's like the old fashioned Pritt Stick but blue and it does work really well in tight areas, thanks for sharing, always great to hear from you!
Now you gotta replace your Allen wrench!! Lol I’ve modified many of my tools and my wife not happy bout replacing it … told her we made it work didn’t we?? Grin. Love your performance. Looks great!! Cleaning screws is same task I do! Really Kwel!!
hi - i tried your method, worked out great! i want to spray paint some parts in gold, like the supension fork. i couldn't find a comparable gold color from simomiz. can you give me a tip on which color i can use?
Awesome video, would love to do this to my XC. Could you tell me after the washing process do you wipe them with thinners before applying tack coat. And also I'm guessing no lacquer or clear coat needed after the tough paint?
Thinners is ok carefully, too much and you can melt the old surface.. you could use a panel wipe wax and grease remover.. it's just to thoroughly degrease it first... and No, you don't need anything over the top of Tough paint. !
OK, Del, I like the blacked out look myself as it's easier to keep clean than brightwork is. If you want to give the engine fasteners that blacked out look, I can recommend Carbolts UK in West Yorkshire, they have a massive range of black stainless steel fasteners in metric sizes.
Beautiful work Del and Penny. The "styling page" sounds like a good place to avoid on ANY motorcycle website.😄 +1 on the custom tool tally. Even on a machine as pure and simple as a motorcycle there is always something in your way. Stay well my friends. ❤👍👍
Thanks Rick, and you're right, you can spend a fortune on the clip on bits!! Glad you enjoyed today's video, thanks for all your very kind support, have a great week, D&Px
Del, I'm not even 25 seconds in and had to comment! Your whiteboard message made me bray out loud like a jackass that got into the corn whiskey! Now let me watch the video!! :).... Definitely better like this, I say!
@@Moonfleet41 You've gotta hand it to 'em... Your trolls are nothing if not loyal! They don't seem to know that any interaction is boosting the channel in the ol' algorithms... They had to click on the video to give their funny little thumbs down! I shouldn't have said that, should I?? They might leave!! Carry on, O' Troll-y Ones!! Feed the Algorithms!! LOLOLOL!!
Great video, I have been using the spray on my bike and the centre stand, had a tour of Scotland and it's all chipped off, am I doing something wrong on prep
Certainly if it's just chipping off.. maybe clean it a little more thoroughly with thinners and apply a proper tack coat for a good key.! a main stand lives in a really filthy area, lots of oil and chain lube.. perhaps you didn't clean it all off..?
Much better with these toned down parts. There is such much to learn from your videos, thumbs up! I have to get some tough paint when on holiday in Wales. Günter/Nürnberg
More black, nah - Six coats of Post Office red to 'accent' the black . . A bike called Dennis! (Wotz the law on hooters - can you have a very loud electric klaxon called 'Gnasher'? : )xx
Wow, well done sir! That heatshield for the 2-1 exhaust, which one is that? I've been looking to get that exhaust myself but the heatshield you have there looks a lot better than the default one! :D
Again, another great video deal just one thing you do the topcoat first then you say wait for it to dry and flash off what does flash off mean sorry to sound dumb but I just don’t know
Nice video Del & Penny. Excellent job mate, looks so much better in black, lot to love that paint. Hope the last part of your go's well, take care. Cheers
In previous video’s your scram was red now black ? Do you have 2? 😬 Love all your videos perfect editing and montage also very educational 👍🏻 keep op the good work
100% improvement Del. I love the way Penny speeds up the motion sometimes. Like when you are turning a bolt, or in this case watching paint dry. Keep up the good work my friends. Yours is my #1 favorite UA-cam site. I have spent a fair sum of $$$ on some of the same equipment and tools that you use.
Really appreciate your kind words mate, and yes Penny is a trooper, her arms got really tired holding the camera whilst the paint dried lol But seriously, thanks so much, it's great to know you enjoy what we do! D&Px
Awesome video brother!!! Bike came out great ! That paint really makes it pop ! Bike is looking bad ass , keep up the great work brother !!! Stay safe guys cheers from New York !

Sure thing Paul, tools are for use and if they need to be adapted, then so be it!... and you're right, branded accessories are big business!

Thank you so much mate, you're so right, it works for me! Have a great week there and enjoy your weekend when it arrives! All the very best, D&Px
As soon as you brought that first painted piece near the bike I let out a loud internal "YES!" This looks amazing!
Thank you so much mate for that kind approval!
I have to admit that looks better. Derrick you have got me using this paint. Done loads to my bike. Mainly subframe. Excellent stuff.

Thanks buddy, I guess it;s the most common colour used on motorcycles, thanks of your kind support!
Great job, so good to see someone doing spray can work properly and well! Really tidied up the look of the bike, a more streamlined and cohesive look. Great stuff! Cheers Steve
Thanks Steve. Glad you enjoyed it!
As always, good job and nice to watch. Just a question, whats the small bell that is attached to the bike for?
It's referred to commonly as a 'Guardian Bell', it is traditional gifted to you and is a lucky charm!
Looks much better, more connected. How"s your health doing? How is Penny these days?
We're both good, and thank you for your kind thoughts..

Yes, almost once a week i have to modify a tool for some job or another.. makes life easier and cheaper then buying specialised ones.!
I concur!!! Sometimes better than what you buy…. 🤷🏼♂️
Black?! Surely not....

Most give them a little heat and oil bath.
Thanks buddy, great tip, I'll give them a look!

Take inspiration…

Well done! A simple before and after photo side by side would be the PERFECT ending.
What about the swing-arm, and the skid plate, and the exhaust shields. Might as well black everything.
Where do I send my Scrambler parts Del? Of course with a nice bottle of something...

Certainly a lot cheaper than buying the same items but in black. Easier to clean too 👍🏻
Sure thing buddy, nothing like having it washable! Have a great week, hugs to the family, D&Px

@@Moonfleet41 it's a belt drive, but next time I strip it again I will try and wipe down a bit more, cheers Andy

Thanks Günter, im glad you approve, and yes. if you try it you'll find it's really easy to make great results.
@@Moonfleet41 Transalp needs some work in the winter. Tough paint will help to make it like new again.
The Scrambler looks almost menacing 🤟
Great way to lmprove the looks of your bike at no great expense! And reversible! Great job Del and take care!
Glad you enjoyed it mate, simple and effective!
What's the little bell doing hanging from underneath?
Referred to as a 'Guardian Bell', it's simply a lucky charm!
i just noticed the 2 scrammbler 1200 badges are different colours ( where the battery air intake is )
So much better, I did this to my street twin following your previous painting guidance 😃. Shame i can’t show you a pic of it.
Wonderful to hear it worked for you buddy.. always a great solution..
More black, nah - Six coats of Post Office red to 'accent' the black . . A bike called Dennis!

Wow, well done sir!
That heatshield for the 2-1 exhaust, which one is that? I've been looking to get that exhaust myself but the heatshield you have there looks a lot better than the default one! :D
I made the heat shield by hand myself, it was the oly way to get what i wanted.. Glad you like it. ua-cam.com/video/NxYC-LOoG8o/v-deo.html
Came out the way the factory SHOULD have done it, Del! Loved the Allen wrench mod, too! Hope you both are well!
🏍👍🏍
Thanks buddy👍, sadly the factory DO make them available like that as an extra... maybe been taking some lessons from Harley ..lol
@@Moonfleet41 of course! 🙄
Yup you were right much cleaner look 👍🏻
good upgrade Del, less is more. That gives an individual but classy look👍
Thanks mate 👍, glad you approve!
Three bikes and they’re All Black Del. What you got against colours 🎉
Nothing... is black not a colour?!
Only 4 mins into the video and all i can say is, "Hell Yes!!!! Do it, turn down the chrome!!!!" :D
Again, another great video deal just one thing you do the topcoat first then you say wait for it to dry and flash off what does flash off mean sorry to sound dumb but I just don’t know
It's a paint term mate, referring to a quick evaporation of the carrier spirits allowing the paint surface to go tacky!
Love that tough paint used it on my 03 Honda fireblade 954 after watching you Del so forgiving and quality finish. Looks class
Right on buddy, million uses and always delivers... thanks for watching..!
I always like a few different colour accents. Yours looks great btw.
Thanks buddy.
You turning it into the 007 bike Del? 😉
What is it you're applying to the bolts? Anti-seize paste or thread lock?
You have excellent taste, looks mint. When did the fuel tank become black too mate?
Some time ago, changed under warranty!
Nice video Del & Penny. Excellent job mate, looks so much better in black, lot to love that paint. Hope the last part of your go's well, take care. Cheers
Thanks buddy, glad you approve, you can always make something smarter by making it more uniform! Have a great weekend too, D&Px
Heaps Better! Job Well Done!
In previous video’s your scram was red now black ? Do you have 2? 😬
Love all your videos perfect editing and montage also very educational 👍🏻 keep op the good work
Just the one Scrambler... thank you for your kind support!
Wow! That looks great. Good work.
Thank you! Cheers!
Agree Del has neatened up the look overall 👍
Thank you Richard!
Great video as always :) just 1 thing Im not tack coating my fist :)
love that finish, just right!
Thanks buddy.
Good job again 😮
Thank you! Cheers!

Wise words...
Beautiful work Del. Love it 👏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
Much improved look, good choice Del.
Thanks Andy!
I prefer the more uniform colour myself as well 👍🏻
Sure thing buddy, simple and clean lines!
Nice work. She looks good.
Thanks 👍
Looks a lot better!
Does look much better
