DIY: Blacked Out Fangs...

sexZness · 05-21-2011, 11:39 AM

Would you recommend doing this with flat/matte black instead of satin black? I'm not sure how shiny it gets but I definitely do not want it to be glossy

oh, and what grit do you recommend for sanding?

I feel flat/matte would be the best. Thay's what I'm going to do. I've already bought the paint. Just need to find the time. I feel this will look great next to my GM on my ride. I like the dull look.

I agree.. especially since my wheels are matte black and my vinyl is duller than the di-noc cf

Waiting on the sides to pull it all together. Take your time and the project will go smooooth! Painted the scooter, droped it, removed windsheild and fliped the handlebars while we did the Z....gangster!

Did my fangs and rear valance this weekend using Plasti-Dip. I can peel it off whenever, if ever I get tired of it

Thinking of doing this next month, after the damage from the rock chips is it easy to take off and re do it?
