Plasti Dip is amazing. No it won't last forever, yes the fairings were clean... any other internet experts got any questions or suggestions? Because I can totally go back in time and redo the whole thing just to make you happy. =)
Jacob Padgett Because it made a cool effect with the paint over the top of it, plus this way when she wants it back stock we can just peel it off and bam it's the same as it was :)
I did my Girlfriends in plastidip and did a white pearl with purple chameleon look. From playing around with it I found that if you got the black plastidip and used that as a base coat first, the black covered all the different color stickers perfectly and better than just white over it, that white when sprayed on top really pops. Tips: BE CAREFUL WITH GAS... yes gas will peel the sucker off in heartbeat. If you do want the plastidip to last like paint... ie use real clear-coat over it.... and you still want it to peal off then you will need a total of 13-18 coats of plastidip... Yep a lot. I would do 8 - 10 layers of black before doing any of the color. DYC has a new in-between tech of clear coat that makes it act like the real clear coat, I have not played with that yet. I might do that when I do my car or bike but it is suppose to make it like a real vinyl
I have the same bike as Heather and the same IXIL exhaust too, it sounds sweet with one baffle out but head banging with both out. would be interested to hear/read her thoughts on both the bike and the pipe.
I still can't decide whether I want to plasti dip of vinyl wrap my bike. Chrome color if I go vinyl but if I go a basic color I'll use the dip. Since you used the metalizer can you wash it without scratching it?
looks pretty sweet, if ur looking for more of a permanent spray try some rustoleum automotive spray paint products, did my brothers gixxer with it and it turned out super nice, it lays down nice and flat
Turned out really nice very impressed new appreciation for plasti-dip. Think I will be experimenting with this myself. Thanks for sharing!!! Nice content on ur channel by the way!!! 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Hey man this might sound stupid but I've got a bike just like yours same yr and everything except a 600 and I seen you got a stand on your bike tire what do those cost ??? Thanks man your the only TH-cam rider I watch been trying clutch ups but I'm scared to fuck my bike up !! I mean 13grand I don't wanna put on the ground lol ! Your girls bike came out nice man !!!
Good job Salty. It really turned out great. And dude, you have a pretty gf that rides! Count your blessings. Nice different kinda' video. Where was the cameo by your puppy? Aka salty dog? Lol. L8R.
Dude I literally owned your girlfriends bike. Bought it from a guy in sarasota. Thats crazy lmfao. Everything is exactly the same, including the carbon wrap on the wheel fairings. White plasti dip wasnt on there anymore though
Dude ! I watched the video with your lady test riding the Gxsr , She mentioned 636 ! Me and my girl just left Barneys of Brandon today literally ! She sold her 2013 636 the Flat pearl / black , It had 6k mil , bro she never even red lined it , Tires are literally new ! Go check it out cause the guy said a white 2013 636 will move fast .
You should really put dip coat on this or anything with polymer technology to keep the plasti dip HARD. It works wonders and makes plasti dip last forever
No it is something called dip coat that they sell on their website, it is just a spray bottle that you spray over your plasti dip and wipe, when it dries it makes your plasti dip WAY stronger and smoother but still easy to peel if needed. It's called dip coat
SALTxTHExWOUND You wanted to see the outlines of the decals underneath the plastidip? I used plastidip 3 times. Twice on rims and once on a bike... no expert but what I thought would happen did. I dunno maybe you want the decals left on for when you peel the dip off.
Velldar because the decals show up under the paint like an illusion at certain angles... plus when we peeled the plasti dip off the bike looked just like it did before without having to reapply decals

how does the paint and clearcoat underneath hold up when you peel it?
Why didn't you take off the stickers?
Moto JP Perfectly, When you peel it off it's like nothing ever happened.
Jacob Padgett Because it made a cool effect with the paint over the top of it, plus this way when she wants it back stock we can just peel it off and bam it's the same as it was :)
+SALTxTHExWOUND That's what I figured.
Looks good, but couldn't pull the decals off first??
RIGHT
"get it nice and thick" "hit it from all different angles" 🤔😈
You're that guy. Forever a beavis & butthead fan. So was I. Or sexual innuendo guy. Your comment was amusing. I hope Salty agrees. Peace.
+Chuck Mastin he he! 👍
"6-8 inches" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
+TheGeordieBiker I think we're the only ones that understood the nature of this video.... lol jk
what kind of reflective rim stickers did you use? they look epic!

Plasti dip is going to be faster and less frustrating. Vinyl wrap is a fucking nightmare if you want to diy.
looks pretty sweet, if ur looking for more of a permanent spray try some rustoleum automotive spray paint products, did my brothers gixxer with it and it turned out super nice, it lays down nice and flat
Dose the palastidip film creases or peels from where you put the bolts?
Great video. It's a nice switch up from the usual videos. You should record more how-to's and random stuff.
So how long did it hold up? Was thinking of doing my bike. Wondering how long I should expect it to last.
any reason why you didn't get rid of the stickers before spraying?
that's awesome! I thought about doing the silver fairings on my bike to give it a matte black w/the gloss black of the oem fairings.nicely done.
what handlebar set up do you have on that bike?
Love the color. Can I suggest white rim tape to finish off the look.
dang turned out good. hows it holding up ?
lmao you have a IXIL exhaust on her bike thats amazing thought id never see that brand again
Why didn't u sand it down?, I plan on plastic dipping too, but was thinking I have to sand, second guessing now what do u think
Elias Avila no sanding necessary unless the surface has high or low spots
Turned out really nice very impressed new appreciation for plasti-dip. Think I will be experimenting with this myself. Thanks for sharing!!! Nice content on ur channel by the way!!! 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Green wheel tape with the black and white looks hella clean
@saltxthexwound are you prior Navy? just curious because of your tattoos
How well has this held up Salt? I've wanted to plastidip my bike but local people have been telling me it will fadeee very fast.
Tim Carter it's been nearly a year now and still looks great! You'll see it in the next couple videos
SALTxTHExWOUND Thanks for the response my friend! :)
Tim Carter no problem bro 👊🏻
Looks good what about a clear coat on top of the metalizer paint.#keepumcoming
So how's it holding up?
What exhaust is on there
We're do you live in Florida I live in Florida I live in Saint Augustine
Looks good dude! Hopefully it holds up well!
He said "Awl yea, Every angle possible " Lol
Hey man this might sound stupid but I've got a bike just like yours same yr and everything except a 600 and I seen you got a stand on your bike tire what do those cost ??? Thanks man your the only TH-cam rider I watch been trying clutch ups but I'm scared to fuck my bike up !! I mean 13grand I don't wanna put on the ground lol ! Your girls bike came out nice man !!!
You paid $13,000 for a 600?
+Ogre Doug 12,840 brand new
Indiana Malt Oh I see.....I feel like that's a lot but my bike is used. They were selling gixxer 600's in Feb/March for like $8900
+Ogre Doug what's wrong with that ! I got over 13 in it includes fender elimantor kit and a Dark smoke double bubble and a aluminum break reservoir
Indiana Malt Indiana Malt Oh nothing at all I wasn't hating. My bad fam
is it a 650ex or the r cause i had the ex nice lil starter bike crashed the fuk outta it
Nice video, but why the F do you need to make the outro music so GD loud compared to the rest of the volume?
Whoa nice!!! Love the black and white.
Good job Salty. It really turned out great. And dude, you have a pretty gf that rides! Count your blessings. Nice different kinda' video. Where was the cameo by your puppy? Aka salty dog? Lol. L8R.
It turned out really good better than I thought...
Dude I literally owned your girlfriends bike. Bought it from a guy in sarasota. Thats crazy lmfao. Everything is exactly the same, including the carbon wrap on the wheel fairings. White plasti dip wasnt on there anymore though
I think i'm going to but after market fairings for my 650
Metallic flek? I can only say that it looks flekin awesome....
Ahhh dafobra...quite the clever one! 😅👌
Need to lose the reflective wheel tape and replace with white. Or better yet, powder coat the wheels white.
Dude ! I watched the video with your lady test riding the Gxsr , She mentioned 636 ! Me and my girl just left Barneys of Brandon today literally !

Chris, your usage of the word " sweet " has risen drastically since you moved to Florida. Haha
You should really put dip coat on this or anything with polymer technology to keep the plasti dip HARD. It works wonders and makes plasti dip last forever
+Spencer Rides are you talking about the plasti dip clear coat spray or something completely different???
No it is something called dip coat that they sell on their website, it is just a spray bottle that you spray over your plasti dip and wipe, when it dries it makes your plasti dip WAY stronger and smoother but still easy to peel if needed.
It's called dip coat
+Spence Rides ok cool deal thanks for the info
Turned out sweet bro!
sweet! I want to try it now just to mess with it.
Why on earth wouldn’t you remove the stickers first lol
damn came out pretty nice 👍
hether seems so concernd about her knee in the video
Looks way better!!🐼🐼
awesome job. looking good
I think the new ones have the white. how does your gf like the engine brake?
Make sure you are careful with fuel. I had all white and gasoline will mess it all up
looks good!
dip the rims white that would be awesome
Nice white/black
Noooo, not the sailboat shower curtain!
I stopped watching when you sprayed over the decals.
SaclunchGsus you obviously don't understand how plasti dip works
SALTxTHExWOUND You wanted to see the outlines of the decals underneath the plastidip? I used plastidip 3 times. Twice on rims and once on a bike... no expert but what I thought would happen did. I dunno maybe you want the decals left on for when you peel the dip off.
duuude, you fucking paint over the decals?
Velldar it’s plasti dip... not paint 😂
You're one stupid human being, its still the same method as for painting with a spraycan... and you still did it over the decals, just stupid.
Velldar it’s*.... who’s the dummy now? 🙂
SALTxTHExWOUND omg... who cares? I just don't understand the reason not to remove the fucking decals.
Velldar because the decals show up under the paint like an illusion at certain angles... plus when we peeled the plasti dip off the bike looked just like it did before without having to reapply decals
why not take off the stickers?
Good job!!!!
lobe your videos m8
love*
Bwahahaah Nice Job :)
4:44 😉
i think u should removed the stickers and then paint
love it
When are you guys getting married?
hot girl, hot bike. A+

Gator girl!
