Hi Guys,

I had some scuffed up oem 1098r fairings, so I thought I would try my hand at spray painting two pack. Not bad for my first go, just waiting on a few stickers and then Ill finish her with flat matte clear .... what do you think ?

I have a ducati performance fuel alloy tank and few extra carbon parts... so it will be a sweet trackday bike

From your post, I envision rattle can.
Looks like a damn good job! What kind of equipment did you use?
I can't wait go see more when its all together.

I used a $100 warehouse special aircompressor, a $200 paint gun, acrylic primer, acrylic base color, lots of sanding! (800 grit).

Taping off took alot of time, I used automotive pin stripes to tape the detail.... and after it all dried I used 1500 grit wet paper to smooth out the lines between the two colors... I am just wait on the stickers so then I can spray it with two part matte clear coat. All my skills are sponsored by youtube

You did an awesome job! It's a lot of work, but I'm sure you're glad you did it the right way. Nice and clean.

Amazing work for a "track" bike... With the alloy tank too... Will look sick

Excellent look and work. I am envious because everything I try to paint ends up looking like hell. Good job.

 

[asphalt]

That looks great. Can't wait to see it on the bike.

Very nice! A racebike is a tool, a trackbike can be what you love..

IIRC Ducati had sold a limited amount of 1198s with special matte black, silver, gray paint jobs. I saw one at Eurosport Ducati and it was cool. They ghosted in the Corse shield and other stuff. It was quite a bit more detailed paint wise than a matte finished EVO.
Yours looks very similar....you did an incredible job! Lets see it all together. It's a shame Ducati didn't mass produce this paint combo.

great combo! looks great...cant wait to see all together!

Great Job!
All the wet sanding paid off.
Just waiting for pics of it all installed!
