Just showing off a custom motor cycle fender I did for a buddy. Don't usually do bikes and don't know what kind of bike they were off. Just installed skull and did body work on tank. Sprayed them jet black with transtar clear coat.

Looks slick! How do you like the Trans-Star products? I have threatened to try it before but just never have.

Looks nice! Great shine to the fender.

My experience with Trans-star is not very good though. I've used their primer & didn't care for it. Used some of their adhesive products also & they didn't stick at all.

Thanks. My shop uses the trans star clear on the cheaper jobs. I like it and so does our painter. Has a nice gloss, holds up well, and has a great price tag. Our higher end paint we use is Duponts European line spies hecker, and its amazing. Lifetime warranty.

I have used there primer a couple times. Its always weird to me that you don't reduce it. Just 4/1 primer to hardener. I thought it sanded pretty well. Easy to block. I always use bulldog adhesion promoter. Just make sure its just on raw plastic. If you use it over paint it will gas of under your primer and your paint won't stick.
