Title: Got a free spray paint today
Post by: 08GSSteve on April 22, 2009, 08:48:01 PM
Yep free no charge what so ever.

4.00am this morning riding to work, raining I by mistake rode through fresh wet paint on the road.  A line marking vehicle or a painting contractor must have lost a paint can on the road and it smashed spewing white paint all over the road.  Due to the road being wet it had that silver kind of look to it anyway and I did not see the paint.  I did smell paint thinners but by that time it was too late.

Once the sun came up I went out to car park to check out my new spray job to find my engine, front guard, rear guard, exhaust and pipes with white splash marks all over it....... :mad:

Looks like my weekend is going to be tied up with some fine scotch bright buffing off the paint.

Got the splash marks off the front guard but am left with front fender needing a heavy cut back and deep polish.  With the GS paint being so thin I am not sure if the cut and polish will work....Maybe I should have painted the rest of the bike white LOL

Don't know how I am going to get the paint off the front of the engine  :dunno_white:
