Best way to paint a motorcyle frame without complete dissassembly?
I have a DR350 dirtbike with a lavender frame that I’d like to paint gunmetal grey. The bike runs great and I really don’t want to dissassemble if I can help it. What would be the best approach to repainting the frame with the bike still together?
The only way is to have alot of patience and being able to clean it very well so the paint will stick.
Before you start the making job, it has to be degreased thoroughly with mineral spirits, remove the parts you can remove that are simple, in mmost cases the seat and some side panels that house the battery and fuse boxes.
After that is done, get a good grade making tape and plastic to go over the engine and other bulky parts.
The rest is just taking time to make sure all of it is covered and your tape is very secure. The masking job is the ost important part you don’t want to end up with any over spay, that would be hard to fix.
Before you star spaying, and taping, I forgot you should sand with 600 grit the existing paint to facilitate the new paint, then clean it one more time with thinner, that will give you a shinny finish too. Remove any stickers that may be on the bike also.
Good luck
