Plasti-Dip on the side cover - Monkey Rider_imp - 05-24-2015

CB1100 already has near perfect styling IMO.. so I need nothing to add so far.
Instead, I just spray plasti-dip on the side cover to make it a bit different looking.
Purpose is leave the red color only on the fuel tank.

Plasti-dip is easy to apply, also easy to remove(peel off) because it's kind of rubber/urethan material.
(I did it on my car wheels -Wrangler JKU- and it stays strong over 4 years.)

I like it. I've only used Plasti-dip to coat tool handles but that certainly works, too. Neat!

Looks good

Man that looks good. Excellent job. I'd much rather have that personally than the factory silver covers.

Quite impressive!

Wait, that's a deluxe. I'd rather have the color matched side covers. However if I had a 2013, I'd be all over that.

That looks good. It's funny how one change like that can make a big difference in the way a bike looks.

Hmm… I do not like my silver side covers. great idea that may be repeated

RE: Plasti-Dip on the side cover - pekingduck - 05-25-2015

Looks great. Think I'll try that on my 2013.

Hmm, wonder what the gearshift covper would look like painted silver?

That looks excellent! Did you mask the CB1100 logo or remove it and put it back on after spraying the plastic on?

I agree... Looks great. Might be next on my list!

Actually I didn't remove the logo, and didn't mask it either.
Just spray all over the side cover, wait until fully dried, then carefully peel off the logo area.
I used sticky side of masking tape to clean-up the left over plasti-dip in small area between letters.
It was fairly easy job. Shy
