If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

I was just wondering if anyone had painted their bike with rattle can using flake or glitter. I have seen plenty of flat black and my bobber is gonna be off the charts being its a gs 1000 solo seat ape hangered bobber. Im doing a oldschool superflake job on it. Just curious. I can hold a steady finger let me tell ya...........Knucklebuster forum has some but they dont tell how they did it......
 
Clear it with Engine Clear Paint. Otherwise the first drop of gas hits it and it's ruined.

Im gonna remember that. I just need to find some heavy gold flake in a spray can so I can go to town....Thanks
 
Engine clear won't hold up either. Google Spraymax. It's a 2 part catalized enamel in rattle-can.
 
I have to disagree on that. I painted engine covers and poured gas all over, held up fine. I allowed a 2 week cure and that was it. I have pics around here somewhere. Engine clear isn't great paint from a application standpoint so it won't look professional.

You could take the parts to a friendly body shop and ask them to spray them next time they have a load of clear in the booth.
 
i believe (alsa (killer cans) has a clear in the spray can for bikes, i have used mettallic silver ,it looked great and it resisted fuel, i used it on rims,but i would go wwith a clear designed for it
